Fred, Clyde and their team built the sophisticated "Herr Auge" detector (on display in the main lobby of the Administration Building), which was 300 liters of liquid scintillator with 92 photomultiplier tubes surrounded by hundreds of tons of lead shielding.
The Cowan, Reines, Harrison, Kruse and McGuire paper "Detection of the Free Neutrino: a Confirmation" in the July 1956 issue of Science proved to be the seminal paper that opened up a new field of research.
During the symposium, Reines, a recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize for physics, and the late Clyde Cowan were lauded for their contributions to neutrino research.

Fred spent seven years as Professor and Chairman of the Physics Department at the Case Institute of Technology (now Case Western Reserve University) before moving to UCI in 1966 as the founding dean of the School of Physical Sciences.
Fred was born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1918, of Russian immigrant parents.
Fred retained a lifelong interest in the arts and is remembered fondly at UCI for whistling in the halls and stairwells, belting out Gilbert and Sullivan tunes, and reciting poems, puns, and riddles.

 Nobel Laureate Frederick Reines
Reines then devoted the major part of his outstandingly productive career to the understanding of the neutrino's properties and interactions.
Reines' studies produced a host of fundamental findings and a number of "firsts." These include the detection of neutrinos produced in the atmosphere, the observation of the scattering of electron antineutrinos with electrons, and the detection of both neutral and charged current interactions of electron antineutrinos with deuterons.
The IMB experiment (of which Reines was co-spokesman) used an 8,000-ton water Cerenkov detector in a salt mine near Cleveland, Ohio, to set the best limits on the lifetime of the proton, thus significantly constraining particle theories.

 Fred Reines
The association of Fred Reines and the neutrino began in the early 1950's, when Reines and Cowan set out to perform the first detection.
Indeed, several years after the completion of the seminal work of Reines and Cowan, neutrinos were beginning to be used regularly to investigate the weak interactions, the structure of protons and neutrons and the properties of their constituent quarks.
The IMB experiment (of which Reines was initially co-spokesman and later the sole spokesman) used an 8,000 ton water Cerenkov detector in a salt mine near Cleveland, Ohio, to set the best limits on the lifetime of the proton, thus significantly constraining allowed particle theories.

 Memories of a Nobel laureate - CERN Courier
While I was at Savannah River doing these experiments, Fred Reines, Clyde Cowan and their associates were performing a beautiful experiment, the first detection of a free antineutrino (Reines and Cowan 1956).
I might add that Fred Reines was also stimulated by the new findings and immediately embarked on a programme of solar neutrino research (Reines 1967).
Fred Reines organized an in-depth conference on all aspects of solar neutrino research at the University of California's Irvine campus in 1972.

Fred Reines and Clyde Cowan at the Control Center of the Hanford Experiment (1953), one of the neutrino experiments leading to their 1956 discovery at the Savannah River nuclear reactor.
In 1956, Fred Reines and Clyde Cowan found a way to detect antineutrinos coming from a nuclear reactor, using a mixture of water and cadmium chloride.
In 1946, it was suggested that neutrinos might come in two flavors, one that is always associated with with an electron and another that is associated with a muon (a "heavy electron" that had been discovered in 1937).

Frederick Reines, who shared the Nobel Physics Prize in 1995 for his historic 1956 experiment with Clyde Cowan which discovered the neutrino, died in August.
In 1959 Reines moved to the Case Institute of Technology, Cleveland, where he continued to promote neutrino experiments at reactors and pioneer studies deep underground to search for atmospheric and cosmic particles.
As well as being a distinguished physicist, Fred Reines also had a fine singing voice, with which he would occasionally entertain close friends with Gilbert and Sullivan lyrics.

This experiment, Svoboda said, was virtually the same as the experiment performed by Fred Reines in 1956 which was the first to detect neutrinos and which won Reines a Nobel Prize.
Svoboda was Reines' postdoctoral student at the time and worked with him on a number of neutrino experiments.
Buried a half-mile underground to reduce interference from other sources of radiation, the detector is a two-story high plastic balloon filled with mineral oil, as Reines' was, suspended inside a steel tank also filled with mineral oil and lined with photomultipliers.

Though they are the most prevalent particles in the universe and have played a central role in the origin and evolution of the universe, we know very little about them.
Neutrinos were discovered 45 years ago by LANL scientists Fred Reines and Clyde Cowan (for which Reines received a Nobel Prize in 1995) and have since been observed from many sources, including the sun and exploding stars called supernovae (for which Ray Davis and Masatoshi Koshiba received Nobel Prizes in 2002).
As well as playing a very important role in cosmology and in supernovae bursts, neutrinos may also explain why we exist: why there is far more matter than antimatter in the universe.

Neutrinos aren't just at Los Alamos; they're everywhere: Every inch of space in the visible world is saturated with trillions of them - but they have a special place at Los Alamos, where they were first discovered 45 years ago by scientists Fred Reines and Clyde Cowan.
Los Alamos proved the existence of neutrinos in the 1950s by creating a bunch of them - they're made when atoms change states or are merged together in the sun, solar wind, nuclear reactors and particle accelerators - and crashing them into a detector that makes a flash of light when they hit it.
The lab has proven the existence of several types of neutrinos from the sun, nuclear reactors and distant supernovas, but the ones created in the big bang have yet to be detected, because they move very slowly, Louis said.

Their existence was postulated by Pauli as a book-keeping device to conserve energy and momentum in the radioactive decays of nuclei.
He liked to say: "I have done a terrible thing, I have postulated a particle that cannot be detected." Clyde Cowan and Fred Reines proved him wrong 23 years later.
