Daya Bay discovers a mismatch

The latest measurements from the Daya Bay neutrino experiment in China don't align with predictions from nuclear theory. A new result from the Daya Bay experiment has revealed a possible flaw in predictions from nuclear theory. "Nobody expected that from neutrino physics," says Anna Hayes, a nuclear theorist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. "They uncovered something that nuclear physics was unaware of for 40 years." Neutrinos are produced in a variety of processes, including the explosion of s...
