Summary: Neutrinos are particles that tend to switch identities (flavors) and an underground particle detector in China is helping to provide more information on these weird particles. They do this by creating mikllions of quadrillions of electron antineutrinos. That's right, finally another article that relates to antimatter! The Daya Bay neutrino oscillation data has helped researchers to pin down the probability of of the electron neutrino occupying each possible mass state.
The studying of neutrino oscillations may also provide new clues to the great mystery of the matter-antimatter unbalance in our universe.
All of these findings and more will be presented this week at NuFact2013 in Bejing.
