Caption

Display of a candidate muon neutrino interaction observed by the Short-Baseline Near Detector. When a neutrino enters SBND and interacts with an argon nucleus, it creates a spray of charged particles that the detector records. Physicists can then work backwards from these secondary particles to where the neutrino interaction occurred.
