image: From left, Jason Newby of ORNL and Brandon Becker of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville examine equipment that will collect data for COHERENT. Becker, a graduate student, will model, simulate and analyze interesting physics that result from interactions between neutrinos and lead shielding that cause emission of neutrons inside the neutrino detector. 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.' view more
