"Physicists have proposed a new type of laser that could emit powerful bursts of neutrinos instead of light. This could enable 'tabletop' studies of neutrinos - elementary particles that have no electrical charge - without expensive equipment such as accelerators and nuclear reactors."
Rubidium atoms chilled to extremely low temperatures can emit bursts of neutrinos under specific quantum conditions. Physicists propose a new type of laser that would produce intense bursts of neutrinos rather than photons. The neutrino-emitting laser could enable compact, tabletop studies of neutrinos without reliance on large accelerators or nuclear reactors. Neutrinos are elementary particles that carry no electrical charge. A directed, powerful neutrino source derived from ultracold atomic systems could make neutrino research more accessible, reduce experimental scale and cost, and permit new measurements of neutrino properties and interactions.
