NEUTRINO HUNTERS
JAYAWARDHANA, R.
Every second of every day and night, many trillions of neutrinospass through your body. But most people
had never heard of them until they made headlines recently for possibly travelling faster than light.
Luckily, these ghostly particles—celebrated in a delightful John Updike poem and (falsely) blamed for
heating the Earth’s core in the Hollywood disaster movie 2012—do no harm and leave no trace. They are
so difficult to pin down that scientists must use Olympic-sizepools of cleaning fluid deep underground and
kilometre-thick sheets of Antarctic ice to catch just a handful. Yet the shadowy neutrinos hold the key to
unlocking some of the biggest mysteries of the universe: What was the universe like seconds after the Big
Bang? Why is anti-matter so rare? What triggers exploding stars?
