Russian space № 26 Neutrino, ghost particle (2012)

Recently , European scientists announced: the speed of the neutrino sent through the earth's firmament from the Large Hadron Collider towards the giant Gran Sasso detector exceeded the speed of light.

And although this discovery was later refuted, the attention of the entire scientific world was again focused on this mysterious particle.

Why neutrinos are called "ghost particles", how and why neutrinos are studied and why the unique Soviet neutrino observatory is located at a depth of two kilometers, explains Vladimir Nikolaevich Gavrin, an expert in the field of experimental nuclear physics, one of the founders of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory (BNR of the Russian Academy of Sciences).
