17:23 Neutrino rocket model to explain the origin of high-velocity pulsars

The first pulsar was discovered in 1967. With an increase in pulsar observations, astronomers have found that some pulsars have a proper motion velocity greater than 1000 km/s, and the number of such pulsars is growing each year.

Navigating neutrinos Tidal disruption events, in which supermassive black holes rip apart stars, could supercharge ghostly subatomic particles called neutrinos, Emily Conover reported in “Zippy neutrino linked to a source” (SN: 6/18/22, p. 8).

14:52 Research places new limits on the bizarre behavior of neutrinos

In a laboratory under a mountain, physicists are using crystals far colder than frozen air to study ghostly particles, hoping to learn secrets from the beginning of the universe. Researchers at the Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) announced this week that they had placed some of the most stringent limits yet on the strange possibility that the neutrino is its own antiparticle. Neutrinos are deeply unusual particles, so ethereal and so ubiquitous that they regularly pass through our bodies without us noticing. CUORE has spent the last three years patiently waiting to see evidence of a distinctive nuclear decay process, only possible if neutrinos and antineutrinos are the same particle. CUORE's new data shows that this decay doesn't happen for trillions of trillions of years, if it happens at all. CUORE's limits on the behavior of these tiny phantoms are a crucial part of the search for the next breakthrough in particle and nuclear physics—and the search for our

TitovOver the last decade, a discrepancy between the theoretical and measured values of the antineutrino spectrum at nuclear reactors has remained unresolved and been dubbed the reactor antineutrino anomaly (RAA). In the present paper, a resolution to this anomaly is proposed based on recent experimental results on the beta spectra of U(235) and Pu(239) obtained at the National Research Centre Kurchatov Institute (KI). These measurements indicate a systematic excess in the spectra on which the discrepant theoretical model was based.
