1·When a neutron inside an atom decays, it produces a proton, an electron, and a neutrino.
原子内的一个中子衰变后会产生一个质子、一个电子和一个中微子。
2·They wait for the flash of light that signals the rare occasion when a neutrino hits an ice molecule.
当一个中微子罕见地撞到一个冰分子时,探测器们等待的就是这一瞬间的闪光。
3·As a neutrino strikes an atom, the energy of the collision warms the immediate surroundings, causing them to expand ever so slightly and trigger a minuscule shock wave of a specific shape.
当一个中微子撞击原子时,碰撞产生的能量会使周围环境受热,使其发生微小的扩张膨胀,并且触发产生一种形状特殊的微型冲击波。
4·Neutrino telescopes are vast arrays of sensors located deep underground or under the sea.
中微子望远镜是深埋在地下或者海中的大型探测器阵列。
5·Until now. A paper published last week in Nature Geoscience reports the results of recent work using neutrino detectors to quantify the radiogenic production of heat.
直到现在,上周在发表在《自然地球科学》的一篇论文报告了最近使用中微子探测器量化放射产生热量的工作结果。
