DUMAND does not actually detect neutrinos, but rather bursts of Cerenkov light given off by muons created when a neutrino collides with a proton or neutron near Earth's surface. The project, named DUMAND, was sponsored by the Department of Energy and was integrated in an underwater cosmic ray telescope. With buoys on their upper ends, the strings will float vertically, "like sea grass," says John Learned of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, who is technical director of the Hawaii DUMAND Center, which manages the project. |
