Support for UkraineNeutrinos are perhaps the most enigmatic objects currently studied in particle physics. Even though they are produced at enormous rates in the solar core during the fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium, in Earth’s atmosphere in interactions of cosmic rays, or in nuclear reactors, they practically ignore the matter around, which makes their interactions very difficult to observe. Hence, this kind of research requires large (sometimes even gigantic) detectors to be build, as the probability of such events increases with the number of nucleons with which a neutrino can interact.
The study of neutrinos at the IPNP includes our participation in selected experimental programs of this kind, which involves not only the construction of detectors, their operation, and data collection, but also collaboration with partner institutions around the world on the subsequent analysis of the collected data.
