Brynn Kristen MacCoy’s work on improving beam dynamics has helped Muon g-2 researchers better understand and account for the behavior of the muon beam.

William Pellico received this year’s URA Honorary Engineering Award highlighting his innovative application of power-over-fiber technology for use in DUNE’s cryogenic environments.

To aid in the search for elusive dark matter, Kevin Pedro looks for ways to harness the capabilities of artificial intelligence for analyzing particle collision data. For this work, Pedro was awarded the 2024 Universities Research Association Honorary Early Career Award.

Ana Martina Botti’s work as a postdoctoral researcher has helped pave the way for more sensitive dark matter searches using skipper CCDs. For this important contribution, Botti was presented the 2024 URA Honorary Tollestrup Award for Postdoctoral Research.

After years of preparation, the first neutrinos have been observed by the Short-Baseline Near Detector collaboration. The data SBND collects will expand our knowledge of how neutrinos interact with matter and will be used to search for evidence of new physics.

The CMS experiment is developing a new type of trigger that looks for anomalies — one-in-a-billion events that show something new or unexpected.

South Dakota Senator Lee Schoenbeck recently visited the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, and shared his experiences and insights into the groundbreaking research.

Michael Cohen, an emeritus professor of physics and astronomy in the School of Arts & Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania, died on June 30. He was 94.

DUNE is designed to detect the Universe’s most antisocial particle: the neutrino.

Edgar Marrufo Villalpando went from Mexico to the United States and from computational physics to astronomical instrumentation to pursue his childhood dream of becoming a physicist.
