This research explores the philosophical foundations of particle physics and the Standard Model. Focusing on neutrinos, it argues that these particles may be better understood as different states of a single entity rather than separate objects. The project aims to develop a deeper ontology describing the fundamental structure of physical reality.

This research studies neutrinos—elusive particles that rarely interact with matter—and their ability to change type, known as neutrino oscillation. Using detectors in Japan, the experiment compares neutrinos before and after travel. Improved near-detector accuracy enables precise measurements, helping explain fundamental questions about matter, antimatter, and the structure of the universe.

Neutrinos are elusive particles that pass through Earth constantly but rarely interact with matter. Researchers detect them using underground gas-filled detectors. This work develops safer, cheaper, and more sensitive detector gases tested in sealed systems. Improved detectors advance astrophysics and also enhance medical radiation detection used in imaging and cancer treatments.
