About 100 trillion neutrinos pass through your body every second, according to the observatory.
The collaborations findings are set to publish in Physical Review Letters and arecurrently hostedon the preprint server arXiv.
I know: what the hell is a diffuse astrophysical neutrino flux?

The stream is composed mostly of electron and tau neutrinos, and asmall percentage of muon neutrinos.
To their credit, neutrinos have been directly observed.
