Researchers at the Fermi lab are trying to understand the strange behavior of neutrinos. The three neutrino types of flavors include electron, muon, and tau. The neutrinos appear to change from one flavor to another as they travel from place to place. The NuMI Off-Axis Neutrino Appearance experiment (NOvA) will study the properties of neutrinos and try to understand the oscillations between flavors (like between electron and muon) as they travel from the source to the detector. The description of the experiment also includes a short video which does a nice job of explaining the basics of neutrinos. I hope to learn how a particle can change flavor to a something with more mass and not emit light or violate conservation of mass laws.
