neutrino

Distinguished Scientist Fellow Mary Bishai shares her reflections on a career investigating the mysterious particles called neutrinos.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building the largest underground cryogenic system ever attempted to support its massive liquid-argon detectors.

Deep inside a converted gold mine in South Dakota, researchers are tackling a colossal engineering challenge — building massive, super-cooled containers to hold liquid argon for a flagship physics experiment hosted by Fermilab for the international DUNE collaboration.

Gray Putnam, James Mott, Lauren Yates and Chris Jensen are this year’s recipients of the URA Honorary Awards. The awards are presented each year to recognize significant contributions to research at Fermilab.

Throughout this year, Fermilab’s dedicated scientists, engineers, technicians and operations staff came together to drive discoveries, advance American innovation and prepare the lab for a bright future.

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino.

In its quest to understand why matter exists, the flagship neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab is constructing an enormous next-generation liquid-argon-based detector a mile underground. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building on the successes of previous liquid-argon experiments, promising measurements of unprecedented precision over a wide range of energies that will bring significant new insights into the nature of the universe.

The Short-Baseline Near Detector has logged the largest sample of neutrino interactions in liquid argon in the world. Newly elected, Andrzej Szelc will co-lead SBND during the next phase of the experiment.

Scientists reveal that strange neutrino behavior could change how stars collapse, possibly leading to black holes instead of neutron stars.

On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the first direct evidence for tau neutrinos. The particles remain elusive to this day, but physicists continue to seek new ways of studying them.
