RE: A final song for OPERA: 6 years of neutrino data, nice events and an exemplary open data policy
Depending on the flavor, neutrinos decay differently. For instance, a tau neutrino leads to the production of tau leptons that can be used as handles to reconstruct the initial flavor.
In fact, neutrino oscillations are studies in two distinct modes: the appearance mode (some neutrinos of a given flavor appear) and disappearance mode (some neutrinos of a given flavor disappear). Both are of course complementary and should give consistent results.
So specific tau-Neutrino detectors do exist then (if one considers the tau-lepton detector as part of the system). Thank @lemouth, you updated what I knew on the subject :-)
My pleasure, as always!
