Some of the misconceptions we could find in our field. Useful for neophytes in our group.

When things that produce calibration signals are pulsers with an e.  Pulsars are astronomical objects.

For us the plural of antenna is antennas.  Antennae is used for insects and aliens!  

Feel free to add other misconceptions, the .tex file is included.

\section{Center of Mass Energy $\neq$ Neutrino Energy}

The energy of a neutrino ($E_\nu$) is it intrinsic energy ($E_\nu=\sqrt{(p_\nu c)^2+(m_\nu c^2}^2$). The center-of-mass (COM) energy, which is useful in accelerators, has to do with the amount of energy involved in the collision, including not only the neutrino, but also the target; usually a nucleon. 

Suppose a neutrino of energy $E_\nu=10^9$ TeV interacting with a proton at rest, then the center of mass energy ($\sqrt{s}$) can be approximated to be
\begin{align*}
\sqrt{s}&\approx\sqrt{2E_\nu m_p}\\
&\approx 45 \text{ TeV},
\end{align*}
where $m_p$ is the mass of the proton.

As a reference, the COM that the LHC can attain is 14 TeV, approximately 3 times smaller than what we just calculated for a neutrino. This can allow probes of the Standard Model at higher energies than what a human made accelerator can get.
