= Glashow resonance
{wiki=Glashow_resonance}
The Glashow resonance is a phenomenon related to neutrino interactions, particularly concerning the interactions of ultra-high-energy neutrinos with matter. It was proposed by theoretical physicist Sheldon Glashow in 1960. The resonance occurs when a neutrino with an energy of about 6.3 billion electron volts (GeV) interacts with the electromagnetic field of a nucleus, such as iron, to produce a specific intermediate particle known as a W boson.
