KARMEN

KARMEN (KArlsruhe Rutherford Medium Energy Neutrino experiment), a detector associated with the ISIS synchrotron at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Neutrinos for study are supplied via the decay of pions produced when a proton beam strikes a target. It operated from 1990 until March 2001, observing the appearance and disappearance of electron neutrinos. KARMEN searched for neutrino oscillations, with implications for the existence of sterile neutrinos.

Results

Limits were set on neutrino oscillation parameters. The KARMEN results disagreed with the LSND experiment and were followed up by MiniBooNE.[1]

gollark: I see.
gollark: There are apparently significant health benefits, so if you lack the general motivational issues preventing me from doing much of this stuff you totally should.
gollark: Too bad.

gollark: So I'm gluing together the API for handling phone calls, a random TTS program I found, and zzcxz.
