Supernova neutrino detector

Supernova neutrino detector. Tunnel A at the Gran Sasso Laboratories in Abruzzo, Italy. In 2003, this tunnel system is the largest underground laboratory for particle astrophysics in the world. The experiment housed in this tunnel is designed to detect supernovae (catastrophic star explosions) by detecting the neutrinos that they produce. Neutrinos are elementary particles which can travel through solid rock. The laboratories are located 1400 metres underground, and are accessed from a 10 kilometre long road tunnel. The rock overlay shields the laboratories from cosmic rays

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Supernova neutrino detector, located in Tunnel A at the Gran Sasso Laboratories in Abruzzo, Italy. Serving as the largest underground laboratory for particle astrophysics worldwide, this tunnel system houses an experiment specifically designed to detect supernovae – catastrophic star explosions – by capturing the elusive neutrinos they emit. Neutrinos are elementary particles capable of traversing solid rock effortlessly. Situated 1400 meters below ground level and accessed through a remarkable 10-kilometer road tunnel, these laboratories benefit from their subterranean location by being shielded from cosmic rays thanks to the rock overlay. This protection is crucial for accurate measurements and observations conducted within this astronomical observatory. The image highlights not only the impressive infrastructure but also emphasizes the significance of research on dark matter and cosmology carried out at this facility. Equipped with advanced sensors and measurement apparatuses, scientists utilize this large-volume neutrino detector to unravel mysteries surrounding supernovae, stars, and other fundamental particles. Set against the backdrop of Abruzzo National Park's breathtaking scenery, this print captures both scientific innovation and natural beauty harmoniously intertwined. Courtesy of Science Photo Library, it serves as a testament to humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge about our universe's most enigmatic phenomena while showcasing Italy's contribution to cutting-edge astrophysics research.
