【PRESS RELEASE】T2K Results Restrict Possible Values of Neutrino CP Phase - Published in Nature, the results are a major step forward in the study of difference between matter and antimatter -

The T2K Collaboration has published new results showing the strongest constraint yet on the parameter that governs the breaking of the symmetry between matter and antimatter in neutrino oscillations. Using beams of muon neutrinos and muon antineutrinos, T2K has studied how these particles and antiparticles transition into electron neutrinos and electron antineutrinos, respectively. The parameter governing the matter/antimatter symmetry breaking in neutrino oscillation, called δcp phase, can take

【PRESS RELEASE】Researchers find way to show how the tiniest particles in our Universe saved us from complete annihilation

Recently discovered ripples of spacetime called gravitational waves could contain evidence to prove the theory that life survived the Big Bang because of a phase transition that allowed neutrino particles to reshuffle matter and anti-matter, explains a new study by an international team of researchers. Here is the press release. Link 2020.2.4KEK Researchers find way to show how the tiniest particles in our Universe saved us from complete annihilation 2020.2.4IPMU
