The field of neutrino physics has a rich history and is currently the subject of much active research. The discovery of neutrino oscillations led to the conclusion that neutrinos have mass which was in contradiction to the Standard Model. Now researchers are investigating a number of open questions regarding neutrino properties such as their mass values or the existence of CP violation in the weak interaction. In order to answer these questions experimental and analytical techniques of neutrino detection are becoming more advanced, entering into an era of precision neutrino detection.
Nuclear reactors as a source of antineutrinos have played …
