south pole detector could yield signs of extra dimensions
researchers at northeastern university and the university of california,
irvine say that scientists might soon have evidence for extra dimensions and
other exotic predictions of string theory.
newswise ? researchers at northeastern university and the university of
california, irvine say that scientists might soon have evidence for extra
dimensions and other exotic predictions of string theory. early results from a
neutrino detector at the south pole, called amanda, show that ghostlike
particles from space could serve as probes to a world beyond our familiar three
dimensions, the research team says.
no more than a dozen high-energy neutrinos have been detected so far.
however, the current detection rate and energy range indicate that amanda's
larger successor, called icecube, now under construction, could provide the
first evidence for string theory and other theories that attempt to build upon
our current understanding of the universe.
an article describing this work appears in the current issue of physical
review letters. the authors are: luis anchordoqui, associate research scientist
in the physics department at northeastern university; haim goldberg, professor
in the physics department at northeastern university; and jonathan feng,
associate professor in the department of physics and astronomy at university of
california, irvine. the evidence, they say, would come from how neutrinos
interact with other forms of matter on earth.
