Q. The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is located in which of the following state?
Explanation: The India-based Neutrino Observatory (INO) is now in the feasibility study stage. More than 50 scientists from about 15 Institutes and Universities in India have come together to form the National Neutrino Collaboration group (NNCG). This group has the task of detailing various aspects related to INO activity and come up with a proposal for an underground neutrino laboratory. An underground neutrino facility in India offers the unique possibility of locating a neutrino detector near the Earths equator. This can have some very interesting consequences for solar neutrinos which would then pass through the core of the Earth in their passage to the detector from the Sun at night. The INO collaboration has now decided on a site in Bodi West Hills(BWH) region near Pottipuram village in Theni district of Tamilnadu (110KM from the temple town of Madurai).
