Why Theni is neutrino?
It signifies that there is no eco-sensitive zone in the Tamil Nadu side of the national park, and hence any development project can happen around the park boundary, including the neutrino observatory which is set to come up at a distance of five kilometres from the park boundary.
Where is India-based Neutrino Observatory located?
India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is a particle physics research project under construction to primarily study atmospheric neutrinos in a 1,200 meters (3,900 ft) deep cave under INO Peak near Theni, Tamil Nadu, India.
Why do we have neutrino observatories?
Neutrino observatories will “give astronomers fresh eyes with which to study the universe”. Various detection methods have been used. The proposed acoustic detection of neutrinos via the thermoacoustic effect is the subject of dedicated studies done by the ANTARES, IceCube, and KM3NeT collaborations.
When was Ino established?
The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) project is an ambitious basic science project aimed at studying the properties and interactions of the elusive elementary particle called neutrino. The Government approved the INO project in January 2015.
