Another Don Lincoln video, and this time, it is on a topic that I had a small involvement in, which is neutrino detection.
My small part was in the photomultiplier photocathode used for detection of Cerenkov light that is emitted from such a collision between the "weak boson" and the nucleus. We were trying to design a photodetector that has a large surface area as compared to the current PMT round surface.
In any case, this is a good introduction to why neutrinos are so difficult to detect.
