Understanding Neutrinos
The KATRIN experiment has recently established new constraints on the interactions of neutrinos, shedding light on these elusive particles. Neutrinos are fundamental particles expected to be massless according to the standard model of particle physics. However, their observed oscillations indicate that they possess a small mass, challenging existing theories.
The findings from KATRIN not only enhance our understanding of neutrinos but also have broader implications for the field of particle physics. By testing the limits of their interactions, scientists can refine their theoretical models. This research opens the door for future studies aimed at unraveling the mysteries of the universe and understanding the fundamental forces at play.
