The article informs that Argon is also an inexpensive and effective target for neutrino physics experiments, and scientists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory began cooling down ICARUS, the largest particle detector in the lab's Short-Baseline Neutrino Program and filling it with tons of liquid argon. It mentions that the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program is amazing because it will finally resolve longstanding anomalous results in neutrino measurements.
