It should be noted, however, that you cannot observe the same neutrino
twice. In fact, no neutrinos at all are observed at the Cern end: just
the protons that produce the pions that produce the neutrinos. An
upcoming experiment at Fermilab will observe neutrinos at both ends (the
far end will be in Minnesota).
