- Caption:
- The 300-ton NOvA neutrino detector sits 350 feet underground at Fermilab and measures the properties of the neutrino beam as it starts its 500-mile journey to the far detector in Minnesota. Comparing the composition of the beam at Fermilab with the one in Minnesota lets scientists observe the transformation of muon neutrinos into electron neutrinos. This provides information on neutrino oscillations.
