A successful test delivers DUNE steel beam a mile underground at Sanford Underground Research Lab in Lead, South Dakota.

Now that the excavation of 800,000 tons of rock from the Sanford Underground Research Facility is complete, LBNF-DUNE teams are working on the the far detector in South Dakota and the near detector at Fermilab in Illinois. The science collaboration includes more than 35 countries and DOE’s Office of Science is supporting the LBNF-DUNE to help answer some of physics’ biggest questions.

Faculty and students in the Experimental Neutrino Physics group at Syracuse University are working on DUNE detector construction, operation and analysis. This includes collaboration work on the the 2×2 prototype, a new prototype “pixel” Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber detector and the Short-Baseline Near Detector.

Crews completed the first successful lift and lowering of a steel beam a mile underground for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota.

Argonne recently hosted the 25th international workshop on Neutrinos from Accelerators attended by global experts in high energy physics. Fermilab Director, Lia Merminga was the keynote speaker to nearly 200 theorists and experimentalists attending NuFact who are investigating the elusive neutrino.

Physicists in the United States support the development of an off-shore Higgs Factory — a collider perfectly tuned to mass-produce Higgs bosons.

A repost of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Now that the excavation of the LBNF-DUNE project is complete, science and engineering teams are developing the detectors and systems DUNE will use to study neutrinos. The launch of LBNF/DUNE will bring a new era in understanding neutrinos and knowing more about our universe as a whole.

The 2×2 detector has captured its first neutrino interactions at Fermilab with help from scientists at SLAC. The prototype neutrino detector will help fine-tune a full-size version of the DUNE Near Detector Liquid Argon detector and will capture up to 10,000 neutrino interactions per day.

DOE has awarded the Fermi Forward Discovery Group, LLC a new management and operating contract for Fermilab, the nation’s leading particle physics and accelerator laboratory, for a five-year term beginning Jan. 1, 2025.

A new building at Fermilab’s main entrance will provide a better welcome to the laboratory and a smoother site access experience.
