Is the neutrino detector at the South Pole because of the geomagnetosphere bending in the poles?
Actually, no- the geomagnetic field doesn’t affect neutrinos. The detector uses clear, stable ice as its neutrino target; neutrinos are detected by the Cherenkov radiation (kind of a light shock wave) produced when the neutrinos interact and make charged particles. Clear, stable ice is in abundance at the South Pole. I’ll be talking more about this detector later, in another context. Other Clue: salad bar offering, 5 letters, -AC-, stuck!
