			The Cowan-Reines experiment detected antineutrinos produced by a nuclear reactor. The result confirmed a particle that had been proposed by [[Biography:Wolfgang Pauli\|Wolfgang Pauli]] and named by [[Biography:Enrico Fermi\|Enrico Fermi]].

			The experiment made the neutrino a directly observed member of the lepton family.
