The world\u2019s largest \u201cghost particle\u201d detector<\/a>, located in southern China\u2019s Guangdong province, has shattered expectations in just two months.Initial results from the vast new Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (Juno) have shown a record level of precision, surpassing decades of cumulative data from other global experiments on neutrinos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The immediate success has confirmed that the detector is ready to tackle fundamental questions, potentially uncovering new laws of physics and solving the mystery of matter\u2019s very existence.<\/p>\n

From data collected between August 26 and November 2, Juno was able to measure two key neutrino oscillation parameters with a precision 1.6 times greater than the previous 50 years of experiments combined, the Institute of High Energy Physics (IHEP), under the Chinese Academy of Sciences, announced on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fact that the Jiangmen neutrino experiment was able to complete such high-precision measurements in just two months demonstrates that the performance of the Juno detector fully meets design expectations,\u201d said Wang Yifang, former director of IHEP, and a spokesman for the Juno collaboration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The world\u2019s largest \u201cghost particle\u201d detector, located in southern China\u2019s Guangdong province, has shattered expectations in just two…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":143510,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[5302,20799,96893,96891,96889,11322,96892,74823,96895,403,111,139,69,393,147,65197,96894,96890,85134,96896],"class_list":{"0":"post-143509","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-physics","8":"tag-chinese-academy-of-sciences","9":"tag-guangdong-province","10":"tag-institute-of-high-energy-physics","11":"tag-jiangmen","12":"tag-jiangmen-underground-neutrino-observatory","13":"tag-juno","14":"tag-neutrino-oscillation","15":"tag-neutrino-oscillations","16":"tag-neutrino-physics","17":"tag-neutrinos","18":"tag-new-zealand","19":"tag-newzealand","20":"tag-nz","21":"tag-physics","22":"tag-science","23":"tag-standard-model","24":"tag-taishan","25":"tag-university-of-milan","26":"tag-wang-yifang","27":"tag-yangjiang"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=143509"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/143509\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/143510"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=143509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=143509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=143509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
