Most Powerful Cosmic Neutrino Detected Under Mediterranean Sea

One module of KM3NeT with 31 light sensitive ‘eyes’ (called photomultiplier tubes) in the deep sea. The observatory which detected the ultra-high energy event (called KM3NeT/ARCA) had 378 of such modules installed at the time of the detection, on a total of 21 vertical detection lines attached to the sea bottom.

Undersea Telescope Detects Extremely Unusual Particle

The Kilometer Cube Neutrino Telescope—KM3NeT—is still under construction deep in the Mediterranean Sea but it has already made a find that has amazed scientists. In a study published in the journal Nature , researchers say they detected a neutrino vastly more powerful than any particle they had seen before....

Deep-sea neutrino telescope spots the most energetic ghost particle yet

A neutrino detector submerged in the Mediterranean Sea has sniffed out the most energetic ghost particle yet, scientists reported Wednesday. The newly detected neutrino is around 30 times more active than the previous recordholder. Scientists think it came from outside the Milky Way galaxy but its exact source remains a…

Neutrinos are the second most abundant particle in the universe, but one with such energy has never been detected. The discovery was a “mere fluke”. But its origin could change all theories.
