8/6/2006 17:30
Chinese and American physicists are joining hands to conduct the world's
largest neutrino experiment at the Daya Bay Nuclear Plant in south China.
The
experiment, costing roughly 400 million yuan (US$50 million), is designed to
test the mixing angle of neutrino, 13, which is a vital measurement in the most
advanced particle physics.
The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Brookhaven
National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory of the United
States will participate in the significant underground experiment.
