Hi Russ,
I was wondering (from so far having read just the quote rather than the article,) how could neutrinos - which are ghostly neutral particles without a charge, and practically massless, be artificially generated in Illinois? The sun and other stars are massive neutrino sources. Cosmic rays can interact with them, yet they sail through the earth (and us) with "ease". I wonder how the people at Batavia can generate them by the "billions."

I can't tell you as the article doesn't go into any detail. The article is actually about something else (cosmological kinks) and just happened to have that one little blurb about the Fermi Lab accelerator that proved me wrong about the CERN accelerator. So, at least in this case, ignorance prevales. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
