They produced the elusive particle in the university's powerful atom smasher, called the Bevatron.
ONE of the most important questions in physics and cosmology is whether the elusive particles called neutrinos have any mass.
By next summer, they said, they will have enough data to say finally whether the elusive particle really exists.
His experiment may also be a sign that a familiar but elusive particle, the neutrino, has a much higher mass than suspected.
Two research teams have found new evidence of transformations in elusive elementary particles called neutrinos.
But after centuries of research, humans had succeeded in trapping a few of the elusive particles.
Supersensitive particle detectors, located deep underground, look for the elusive particles that make up dark matter.
Before long, these elusive particles had become so tightly woven into the standard model, science's reigning theory of matter, that no one doubted their existence.
But because the elusive particles cannot be seen, the evidence that they have mass is indirect.
It has, however, considerably narrowed down the range of parameters where these elusive particles may exist.
