Double the data: neutrino hunters nearing long-sought answer in fundamental physics

After six years contributing to the Proton Improvement Plan-II, Boffo now takes the reins as project director for the major enhancement to the Fermilab accelerator complex.

In 2024, Fermilab made significant scientific progress, including advancing preparations for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and conducting groundbreaking quantum research. The laboratory also continued its strong international collaborations — including involvement with the CMS experiment at CERN — and made strides in developing emerging technologies with wide applications beyond physics.

The international collaboration presented their first results with new data in four years, featuring a new low-energy sample of electron neutrinos and a dataset doubled in size.
