USA to shoot neutrinos 1300 km ...underground

Titch We are, and there are indeed experiments that detect neutrinos only from the sun and other sources in space. I won't pretend to know much about neutrino physics but by creating a beam of neutrinos you can hope to know their energy more precisely and also the distance that they have travelled more precisely. Each experiment has it's own positives and negatives and neutrino physics is one of the less well understood areas of particle physics, with major discoveries made relatively recently.
