| − | The presence of elevated neutrinos may indicate the presence of a ship – possibly [[cloaking|cloaked]]. The [[Bajoran wormhole]] also emitted neutrinos before opening, giving [[Deep Space 9]] a moment to prepare before any ship came through.

| − | * [[Doctor]] [[Paul Stubbs]] used neutrino velocity spectrometry imaging from his [[The Egg|egg probe]] to scan a [[binary star system]] in the [[Kavis Alpha sector]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | * [[Wesley Crusher]] suggested using a [[neutrino pulse]] to cut through interference on [[Galorndon Core]] and signal [[Geordi La Forge]] when he was trapped there. La Forge saw the pulse with his [[VISOR]] and made his way to the beam-out site.

| | | | |
| − | * [[Duras, son of Ja'rod|Duras]] accused [[Mogh]], [[Worf]]'s father, of sending coded neutrino pulses to signal the [[Romulan]]s, leading to the [[Khitomer Massacre]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | * Wesley Crusher suggested adding [[preprocessors]] to the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}}'s neutrino counters to boost efficiency.
| |
| − | * When the ''Enterprise''-D had apparently passed through a [[wormhole]], [[Data]] set out to check the neutrino and heavy particle detectors.
| |
| | | | |
| − | * [[Timicin]], a scientist from [[Kaelon II]], considered neutrino counts among countless variables when he experimented with a way to revive a dying [[star]]. | + | == References == |
| − | | + | * [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Duras,_son_of_Ja%27rod Duras] accused [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Mogh Mogh], [[Worf]]'s father, of sending coded neutrino pulses to signal the [[Romulan]]s, leading to the [[Khitomer Massacre]]. |
| − | * When Wesley Crusher returned from [[Starfleet Academy]] to visit the ''Enterprise'' and met [[Robin Lefler]], he was so distracted that she had to remind him that his "neutrinos are drifting" as he tried to recalibrate the ship's scanners.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Geordi La Forge used a neutrino field to isolate the ''Enterprise'''s [[cargo bay]] when [[alien]]s posessed [[Miles O'Brien]], [[Deanna Troi]], and [[Data]]. He hoped it would buy [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard|Picard]] enough time to deal with the aliens.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * When a [[shuttlecraft]] belonging to the [[J'naii]] had disappeared into an area of "[[null space]]," [[Data]] was surprised to detect a neutrino emission (such as a shuttlecraft might emit) apparently coming from nowhere. [[William T. Riker|William Riker]] later confirmed that the emission was coming from within the null space.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Geordi La Forge attempted to infuse a reactor on [[Tagra IV]] with neutrinos when it started to overload.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * [[Lieutenant Junior Grade]] Jean-Luc Picard, aboard the USS ''Enterprise''-D in an [[alternate timeline]], suggested neutrino emissions could be to blame for a problem Geordi La Forge was having trouble identifying.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * Severe neutrino disturbances were one factor that lead [[Jadzia Dax]] to consider the [[Denorios belt]] as a possible location for the [[Celestial Temple]] of the Bajoran [[Prophets]]. The crew of [[Deep Space 9]] later recognized that neutrino emissions were an indicator that the [[Bajoran wormhole]] was opening.
| |
| − | | |
| − | * In [[2369]] [[Major]] {{MA|Kira_Nerys|Kira Nerys}} informed [[Commander]] [[Benjamin Sisko]] that they've picked up elevated neutrino readings and that something came up through the [[wormhole]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | * Miles O'Brien observed residual neutrinos in the structure of a building damaged by what he had thought was only an [[illusion]] -- the [[Dal'Rok]] in a [[village]] on [[Bajor]]. | + | * A neutrino field was used to isolate the ''[[Enterprise-D]]'''s [[cargo bay]] when [[alien]]s posessed three of its crew members. |
| | | | |
| − | * In [[2370]], [[Martus Mazur]]'s [[probability]] altering [[gambling machine]]s caused more than eighty [[percent]] of solar neutrinos in [[Deep Space 9]] to spin clockwise. Jadzia Dax noticed that most of the neutrinos on Deep Space 9 were spinning in the same direction, when really the direction of a neutrino's spin should have been random. | + | * [[Deep Space 9]] recognized that neutrino emissions were an indicator that the [[Bajoran wormhole]] was opening. |
| − | :''In reality, neutrinos always have a left-handed spin while antineutrinos always have a right-handed spin, meaning that she probably considers both to be neutrinos''.
| |
| | | | |
| − | * [[Tamal]] became concerned about a neutrino leak in the [[port]] [[nacelle]] when [[Thomas Riker]] and the [[Maquis]] stole the {{USS|Defiant}}. | + | * [[Major]] [[Kira Nerys]] identified a [[Maquis]] ship by its neutrino signature in the [[Badlands]]. |
| | | | |
| − | * [[Jadzia Dax]] noticed that certain interference in a ship's transponder signal just before it exploded could have been caused by a forced neutrino inversion, such as the [[Romulan]]s used in their explosives. | + | *[[Data]] detected neutrino emissions coming from a lake on the [[Ba'ku]] planet and discovered a [[cloak]]ed [[Federation]] holo-ship. |
| | | | |
| − | * [[Major]] {{MA|Kira_Nerys|Kira Nerys}} identified a [[Maquis]] ship by its neutrino signature in the [[Badlands]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | * When a [[Dominion]] fleet disappeared inside the Bajoran wormhole, Jadzia Dax noticed that there weren't even any neutrino emissions left from the ships.
| |
| | | | |
| − | *Evidence of elevated neutrino readings was used to detect the true location of the [[Cardassian]]-built ''[[Dreadnought]]'' weapon, lost in the [[Delta Quadrant]] after being appropriated by [[B'Elanna Torres]] and the [[Maquis]].
| |
| | | | |
| − | * [[Icheb]] designed a high-resolution gravimetric [[sensor array]] that scanned for the neutrino flux associated with wormholes, to help ''Voyager'' get home faster for his science fair project. He got the idea from studying Starfleet records on the Bajoran wormhole.
| |
| | | | |
| − | *[[Data]] detected neutrino emissions coming from a [[lake]] on the [[Ba'ku (planet)|Ba'ku planet]] and, after walking into the lake to investigate, discovered a [[cloak]]ed [[Federation]] [[holoship]].
