The director of the experiment, Art McDonald, was co-awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2015 for the experiment's contribution to the discovery of neutrino oscillation. [ 1 ] The underground laboratory has been enlarged into a permanent facility and now operates multiple experiments as SNOLAB .
SNOLAB is a Canadian underground science laboratory specializing in neutrino and dark matter physics. Located 2 km below the surface in Vale's Creighton nickel mine near Sudbury, Ontario, SNOLAB is an expansion of the existing facilities constructed for the original Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO) solar neutrino experiment.
APEX-CAMBIUM - Advanced Plant Experiments on Orbit [2] Funded by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA), APEX-Cambium will help determine the role gravity plays in trees forming different kinds of wood. BCAT-5 - Binary Colloidal Alloy Test [3] BISE - Bodies In the Space Environment [4] CCISS - Space travel can be dizzying [5]
In addition, a liquid scintillator experiment can detect anti-neutrinos like those created in nuclear fission reactors and the decay of thorium and uranium in the earth. SNO+ uses 780 tonnes of linear alkylbenzene as the scintillator (the detector started to be filled with the scintillator at the end of 2018 [ 3 ] ) and will be filled with 130
The experiment is designed for a 20-year period of data collection. [4] The primary science objectives of DUNE are [4] [5] Investigation of neutrino oscillations to test CP violation in the lepton sector, which explores why the universe is made of matter. [6] Determination of the ordering of the neutrino masses. [7]
A FACE experiment began at Duke University in June 1994. The Blackwood Division of the Duke Forest contains the Forest-Atmosphere Carbon Transfer and Storage facility. This consists of four free-air CO 2 enrichment plots which provide higher levels of atmospheric CO 2 concentration and four plots that provide ambient CO 2 control. [ 5 ]
The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.

The Cowan–Reines neutrino experiment was conducted by physicists Clyde Cowan and Frederick Reines in 1956. The experiment confirmed the existence of neutrinos . Neutrinos, subatomic particles with no electric charge and very small mass, had been conjectured to be an essential particle in beta decay processes in the 1930s.
