Video: Visualizing the Nucleus: Mysteries of the Neutrino

Physicists Rolf Ent from Jefferson Lab, and Richard Milner amd Lindley Winslow from MIT, together with animator James LaPlante from Sputnik Animation, have created a 6 minute video that illustrates the important role neutrinos play in atomic nuclei and the cosmos.

The video follows up on the earlier work of animations of the atomic nucleus. It shows using animations the important role neutrinos play in one of the most common and widely used nuclear processes encountered in nature, and in the formation of the cosmos that formed after the Big Bang. The work was made possible by funding from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
