China, U.S. to launch joint neutrino experiment
Chinese and U.S. physicists are to jointly conduct the world's largest neutrino experiment at the Daya Bay Nuclear Plant in south China.
The experiment, costing roughly 400 million yuan (50 million U.S. dollars), is designed to test the mixing angle of neutrino 13, which is a vital measurement in the most advanced particle physics.
Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and the U.S.-based Brookhaven National Laboratory and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory will participate in the underground experiment.
Chen Hesheng, a CAS member who heads the CAS Institute of High Energy Physics, said Thursday, "We're going to complete a tunnel connecting three different underground labs
