The Icarus experiment based at the INFN National Laboratory of Gran Sasso, guided by the Nobel Prize Carlo Rubbia, presents a new measurement of the neutrino velocity from CERN to Gran Sasso. The result appears to be clear: neutrinos are not travelling faster than light.
The experiment was conducted with a sophisticated neutrino detector made of 760 tons of liquid Argon and it was based on seven events revealed last November.
“As it happens in science, someone repeats the same experiment and can come up with a different result – commented Fernando Ferroni president of the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) – Following the tests made after the surprising announcement of last September, the doubts expressed by the OPERA collaboration itself are now gaining more ground after this last result. It is important that, once again, it is an experiment based at the INFN Gran Sasso Laboratory that gives such an important contribution to our quest for truth
