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

Physicist Steven Gardiner recently received a Department of Energy Early Career Award to explore the low-energy research potential of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. By applying his unique background in neutron simulations, he aims to leverage the massive detector modules of DUNE to study elusive particles from outer space.

During an event at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., officials honored the successful collaboration between the United States and United Kingdom for building the PIP-II particle accelerator at Fermilab. The powerful new accelerator will be used to send a beam of neutrinos through the Earth for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

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