Scientists using neutrinos were able to detect sources of high-energy cosmic rays in the center of the Milky Way

Scientists have come up with a new way to study space.Neutral Fundamental Particles Under

the name of the neutrino.

What is known

Researchers look for ways to discover sourceshigh energy particles. The problem is that charged particles significantly change their trajectories under the influence of magnetic fields. For this reason, scientists cannot trace their route.

The way out can be the use of neutrinos, becausethese particles practically do not interact either with matter or with magnetic fields. This is due to the ultra-low mass, which is close to zero, and the lack of charge. Because of this, the particles move in a straight path, and scientists can trace the source of their origin.

On their way to Earth, neutrinos crash into space.dust and gas. As a result of the collision, quark-antiquark pairs are formed, which, upon decay, create high-energy electron neutrinos. Tracking the trajectory, you can find sources of high-energy particles.

Scientists have come up with a new method of analysis, whichallowed a different look at the map of the Milky Way. As it turned out, in the center of our galaxy there are sources of high-energy neutrinos. Now this process needs to be studied.
