Beaming Neutrinos Through Earth?

Posted by michael on from the death-ray dept.

TheMatt writes: "An article at PhysicsWeb talks about a proposed project by scientists at FermiLab. The project would involve sending a beam of neutrinos 10,000 km through the earth to a detector at SuperKamiokande. The hope is that passing through so much matter would alter the beam enough to better study CP (charge-parity) violation."

    I hope I'm not the figment of a science fiction author's imagination ... cos this experiment sounds like the set-up for something nasty.
