But they still aim to boost energy levels of the particle collisions to 100 TeV, or 100 trillion electron volts, about eight times more powerful than the Large Hadron Collider’s 13TeV.

"Maybe magnetic fields are stronger than we thought, but that disagrees with other observations that show they're not strong enough to produce significant curvature at these ten-to-the-twentieth electron volt energies," said Belz.

Chi-Nu focuses on "fast-neutron-induced" fission, with incident neutron energies in millions of electron volts, where there have typically been very few measurements.

The neutrinos that the astronomers saw have phenomenally high energy, over a tera–electron volt each.

However, striking a match produces millions of photons, but to produce one Higgs boson, we have to concentrate 125 billion electron volts into one spot, which is what they did at the LHC.
