| Frederick Reines' and Clyde L. Cowan's first observation of neutrinos was a pioneering contribution that opened the doors to the region of "impossible" neutrinoexperiments. |
| Reines and Cowan realised the importance of detecting both the neutron and the positron to reduce the risk of erroneous interpretation. |
| Nevertheless Reines and Cowan succeeded in a feat considered to border on the impossible: They had raised the neutrino from its status as a figure of the imagination to an existence as a free particle. |
