Neutrinos continue run of odd behavior at Daya Bay
Results could hint at errors, sterile neutrinos, or something even stranger.
Late last week, the Daya Bay experiment in China released a new set of measurements of the neutrinos produced by the nuclear reactors on the site. The new data provides further examples of these strange particles refusing to act like we'd expect them to. This evidence further supports strange behavior that some have interpreted as evidence of the existence of particles beyond the Standard Model, but the new data doesn't bring evidence up to the level of significance required to announce discovery.
For good measure, there's also evidence of an entirely different anomaly—one that could be anything from an indication of new physics to a sign that our experiments were fundamentally misguided.

Neutrinos continue run of odd behavior at Daya Bay @ Ars Technica
It's very interesting to consider that maybe we have found a bit of "Dark Matter" actually. Or it's just errors in the way we study these particles. Either way science moves forward
