Secrets behind our universe’s existence revealed

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.

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.
