This is the force responsible for nuclear beta decay, which, for example, permits a neutron to decay into a proton, electron, and a third particle -- the neutrino which without extremely carefully designed experiments leaves no observable signatures of its own strictly speaking, it is the neutrino's antiparticle known as the antineutrino.

Since neutrinos have almost no mass and are too small to be seen with a normal telescope, researchers instead are looking for the extremely small and extremely brief flashes of bluish light that are given off when a neutrino's energy trail strikes an oxygen atom in the ice and creates a third particle, called a muon.

By plotting these sparks, like points on a graph, to reconstruct the neutrino's path through the ice, the researchers expect to trace that path directly back to its source.
-
The electron carries off part of the neutrino's energy and will make a flash of Cerenkov light in the heavy water.

The electron carries off most of the original neutrino's energy and will make a flash of Cerenkov light in the heavy water.
-
But it seemed impossible to verify the neutrino's actual existence.

The Geneva-based body said Friday that scientists changed the way the neutrino's departure time was measured and got the same results, "ruling out one potential source of systematic error."
