SoLid starts on quest for most elusive particle

22/12/2017 - 10:00

A consortium of Belgian, British and French scientists, including physicists from the VUB, has deployed a new kind of neutrino detector at the BR2 research reactor of SCK•CEN in Mol. After the discovery of the Higgs boson, the researchers are getting closer to achieve one of the biggest challenges in Science: detecting a new kind of elementary particle, the sterile neutrino.

VUB Chair lecture- The order of the factors DOES CHANGE the product

School children are taught the commutativity property in the negative form of what is written in the title. For example 4x5=5x4=20.
This is valid for the standard multiplication of numbers but fails for many other kinds of product, such as for example the product of matrices or the rotation of solids.
