The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment’s innovative hybrid near detector will be a game changer. An active prototyping program over the last few years has been refining and validating the design of this smaller detector’s key element, a liquid-argon time projection chamber, and the data analysis tools and methods that go with it.
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building the largest underground cryogenic system ever attempted to support its massive liquid-argon detectors.
Deep inside a converted gold mine in South Dakota, researchers are tackling a colossal engineering challenge — building massive, super-cooled containers to hold liquid argon for a flagship physics experiment hosted by Fermilab for the international DUNE collaboration.
In its quest to understand why matter exists, the flagship neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab is constructing an enormous next-generation liquid-argon-based detector a mile underground. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building on the successes of previous liquid-argon experiments, promising measurements of unprecedented precision over a wide range of energies that will bring significant new insights into the nature of the universe.
Particle physics experiments use detectors that are intricate, sophisticated devices for learning about the origins and composition of the universe. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is designed to tackle one of physics’ biggest mysteries — matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe — by studying neutrinos. Production of Anode Plane Assemblies, detector components that will allow DUNE to achieve exquisite measurement precision, requires skilled technicians, a cleverly designed machine and an incredible attention to detail.
The DUNE collaboration continues to grow as they make notable progress on detector prototypes and components.
