Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array
research project
Also known as: AMANDA
Quick Summary
The Antarctic Muon and Neutrino Detector Array (AMANDA) is a research project located at the South Pole. It utilizes thousands of photomultiplier-tube detectors installed deep within the Antarctic ice. These detectors are designed to observe the interactions of neutrinos originating from high-energy cosmic-ray sources. AMANDA functions as a telescope built into the ice sheet to detect these elusive particles as they pass through the Earth.12
