Rare Events. The experiment will generate no atomic blast, but if it pays off it may have an explosive impact on the new and booming subscience of neutrino physics. Neutrinos are littleknown particles that have no mass of their own and no electric charge. They have nothing much except energy; they interact hardly at all with known kinds of matter. They are generated copiously in the centers of stars, and they move with the speed of light as they slip out into space and pass right through any stars they happen to hit. It has been calculated that a stream...
