List of neutrino experiments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Asxyzp (talk | contribs) at 12:37, 25 November 2020 (Removed note for "India-based neutrino observatory" from "operation", which stated that the observatory may not be operational because of various social movements because India's ministry of environment has overturned NGT's stay on INO's construction.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

This is a non-exhaustive list of neutrino experiments, neutrino detectors, and neutrino telescopes.
