Quote [WASHINGTON -- The U.S. should build a
billion-dollar project to beam ghostlike subatomic particles 1,300
kilometers underground west from Chicago to the high plains state of
South Dakota, a committee of experts told the federal government
Thursday.
That would help scientists learn about these puzzling particles, called neutrinos, which zip right through us.
The proposed invisible neutrino beam would be the biggest U.S. particle physics projects in many years, said panel chairman Steven Ritz of the University of California, Santa Cruz. Still, it would be much smaller than Europe's Large Hadron Collider, which found the critical Higgs boson, colloquially called the God particle.
