Did you know?

... was the detection of proton decay, incidentally has provided important information on neutrino oscillation and the collaboration won a Nobel Prize for it!

Now the observation of proton decay is not anymore the main purpose for which these experiments are built, and these experiments are realized to study the properties of neutrinos.

The name Grand Unified Theories has been chosen because its initials make up the word GUTs.

Trying to unify all the fundamental interactions was a very ambitious project and it took some “guts” to do so. The first paper in which this name appeared was by D. Nanopoulos in 1978!
