Physicists recently discovered that neutrinos, subatomic particles, have the ability to switch between three different “flavors.” The researchers concluded that a specific quantum process was responsible for this behavior. To arrive at this finding, they utilized a highly sophisticated method of analysis, known as Neutrino Spectrometry: A special detector captured the neutrinos. The detector then deposits the neutrinos in a special repository and gathers data for further analysis.
A) NO CHANGE
B) will capture
C) has captured
