Precision and ingenuity drive construction of DUNE detector components

Particle physics experiments use detectors that are intricate, sophisticated devices for learning about the origins and composition of the universe. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is designed to tackle one of physics’ biggest mysteries — matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe — by studying neutrinos. Production of Anode Plane Assemblies, detector components that will allow DUNE to achieve exquisite measurement precision, requires skilled technicians, a cleverly designed machine and an incredible attention to detail.

Scientists are getting closer to finding evidence of the fifth force

Experiments that uncover the possibility of new forces, like the Muon g-2 experiment at Fermilab, might help researchers examine the trajectories of well-documented asteroids in hopes of detecting anomalies that could provide evidence of such a fifth force.

Fermilab delegation makes technical visit to Unicamp

Fermilab directors and technicians were at Unicamp recently as part of the technical visit schedule of the research program for neutrino identification called LBNF/DUNE. The Brazilian team is developing the technology for photodetection of the light generated by the particle detectors and the production of highly pure liquid argon.
