Question

A distribution proportional to energy raised to the power negative 2.8 characterizes these things' "prompt" type. Two of these things nicknamed "Bert" and "Ernie" were found by a project whose main proposed upgrade is called PINGU ("ping-oo"), and which is part of the "Early Warning System" SNEWS ("snooz"). Strings connect sets of 60 Digital Optical Modules in a project that uses things to investigate active galactic nuclei, which is called ICECUBE (“ice cube”). The four primary information sources in multi-messenger astronomy are electromagnetism, gravitational waves, cosmic rays, and these particles. Only a third of the expected flux of solar (-5[1])examples of these particles (10[2])was (10[1])detected in the Homestake experiment due to their namesake ■END■

ANSWER: neutrinos [or antineutrinos or electron neutrinos; or muon neutrinos; or tau neutrinos; or prompt neutrinos] (SNEWS is the Supernova Early Warning System.)
