Neutrinos produced in the galactic core should be measurable by Earth-based neutrino telescopes.
The neutrino telescope will detect light emitted by high-energy neutrinos as they interact with the ice.
The neutrino telescope will use phototubes to watch for light produced by neutrino reactions.
Our lasers and mesotrons and nuclear reactors and neutrino telescopes would have seemed pure magic to the best scientists of the nineteenth century.
But the requirement of a neutrino telescope is just the opposite.
The target of the international collaboration is the deployment of a neutrino telescope on the sea floor off of Pylos, Greece.
The construction of high-energy neutrino observatories gained financial backing and four neutrino telescopes are currently under development.
The fourth neutrino telescope, the South Pole's Amanda array, uses ice as its detector.
The $10 million neutrino telescope, first planned in 1975, only recently received construction funds from an international consortium.
In the 2005-2006 season, an additional eight strings were deployed, making IceCube the largest neutrino telescope in the world.
