At best the electrical pulse produced by a photomultiplier when struck by a photon generated when a muon or electron emitted as a result of a neutrino collision interacts with the detector medium (there are a variety of detector designs but photomultipliers are almost always involved). However, the use of similar or identical neutrino detectors at both ends means that systemic errors in delay estimation will tend to cancel. I assume that they will try to match up the timing equipment at both ends as well. -- John Hasler [email protected] Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI USA _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
