Besides Learned, UH members of the Super-Kamiokande neutrino team include faculty members Shigenobu Matsuno and Victor J. Stenger and graduate students Atsuko Kibayashi and Dean Takemori . He leads one of the Super-Kamiokande analysis groups. Stenger, who has worked on neutrino physics for many years, carries out neutrino flux calculations. Pauli hypothesizes the existence of neutrinos. Sakata proposes the pi-mu scheme with a neutrino to accompany muon 1956 Fred Reines and Clyde Cowan discover neutrinos using a nuclear reactor.
Theoretical physicists speculate that neutrinos oscillate.
1961 Muon neutrinos are discovered at Brookhaven National Laboratories. The first natural neutrinos are observed by Reines and company in a gold mine in South Africa. The tau particle is discovered by Marty Perl at SLAC in Stanford. The top quark is discovered at Fermilab, completing the list of six quarks. Super-Kamiokande begins searching for neutrino interactions at the site of the Kamioka experiment.
