Bjorn Scholz (left) from the University of Chicago and Grayson Rich of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory show off the world's smallest neutrino detector. Its siting at SNS's high-flux neutrino source was the key to the COHERENT experiment's success. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the 3 August, online issue of Science, published by AAAS. The paper, by D. Akimov at Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics in Moscow, Russia, and colleagues was titled, 'Observation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering.'
