Abstract

[Neutrinos are unique subatomic particles. The fact that they display extraordinary properties that are unmatched by any other particle makes the field of neutrino physics full of both challenges and opportunities. For instance, due to their extremely low interaction rate, neutrinos have the ability to travel several light-years through a solid material without interacting. On the one hand, this property makes them elusive and difficult to study. On the other hand, it is precisely the fact that they interact so differently from other particles that has led the way to the formulation of groundbreaking physics theories and a deeper understanding of our universe.]
