LBNF/DUNE – An international mega-science project hosted by the US

After joining Fermilab in 2020, Jacopo Bernardini was recently appointed level-3 manager for the 650-MHz cryomodules for the Proton Improvement Plan-II project. PIP-II is building a new, powerful linear accelerator that will create the world’s most intense beam of neutrinos for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. An amateur triathlete outside of work, Bernardini enjoys working with collaborators around the world as well as watching a design become reality.

With a sharp focus on Fermilab’s core scientific mission, Norbert Holtkamp is establishing clear priorities and a disciplined strategy that align the laboratory with the nation’s most ambitious research goals. His leadership is positioning Fermilab for long‑term success.

Researchers at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, working as part of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment collaboration, are perfecting an innovative power-over-fiber system to enable photon detectors to operate reliably in cryogenic, high-voltage conditions.
