Can we produce neutrinos?
Neutrinos are among the most abundant particles in the universe, but they rarely interact with matter. Only a few laboratories in the world can manufacture such neutrino beams: the J-PARC laboratory in Japan, the research center CERN in Europe and Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in the United States.
How does the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory work?
The Sudbury Neutrino Observatory. SNO was a heavy-water Cherenkov detector designed to detect neutrinos produced by fusion reactions in the sun. It used 1000 tonnes of heavy water loaned from Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL), and contained by a 12 meter diameter acrylic vessel.
Why did Albert Einstein win the Nobel Prize?

What is a neutrino vs neutron?
Neutrons are large and made out of multiple other particles and form part of the atomic nucleus, while neutrinos are tiny, single particles with almost no effect.
