Hannah H. Means Live webinar Webinar—Rediscovered Artifacts & Mysteries from the Hunt for the Neutrino A recently uncovered cache of materials that neutrino pioneers Clyde Cowan and Fred Reines collected includes records, keepsakes, and images that were packed away shortly after the electron antineutrino was first discovered in the flux from a reactor in South Carolina in 1956. Notes, images, and invoices offer an intimate glimpse of the efforts that led to first direct detection of neutrinos. Register now.
