Advances in detection of Neutrinos

Neutrinos are invisible neutral particles that are constantly passing through us from all directions. In the last few decades we have learned to detect them with many techniques.  These  observations have led to new discoveries and  questions about our universe. In this presentation, I will provide basic understanding of the technology of neutrino detectors. I will illustrate this with many examples of past and present detectors. I will also provide some details of  new technologies that 
are emerging.
