In the news – DUNE partners

A team rigging operators at SURF have completed 486 slung-loads down the Ross Shaft in support development of DUNE. This process involving the Ross Shaft will increase dramatically as construction of the DUNE cryostats starts early next year.

The 17th annual Neutrino Day took place on July 12 in Lead, South Dakota. The festival is inspired by the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), an international project operated in part at SURF.

Fermilab participated in SURF’s annual Neutrino Day on July 12. Scientists and engineers from the lab participated in a livestream event from the underground caverns and spoke with visitors above ground about DUNE.

Fermilab will be participating in the 17th annual Neutrino Day in Lead, SD on July 12. The citywide science festival is free to all and will include a livestream underground tour of DUNE and a live with Fermilab crews.

South Dakota Public Broadcasting recently went underground in Lead, SD to learn about major projects at SURF. This includes Lux Zeppelin, CASPAR and DUNE.

The B1M channel, the world’s largest online video channel for construction projects, describes the LBNF/DUNE project and how it will help us continue to advance particle physics research.

Fermilab directors and technicians were at Unicamp recently as part of the technical visit schedule of the research program for neutrino identification called LBNF/DUNE. The Brazilian team is developing the technology for photodetection of the light generated by the particle detectors and the production of highly pure liquid argon.

In South Dakota, at SURF, scientists have built three huge tunnels about 1,500 meters below the ground. Here, a massive experiment called DUNE is taking place with more than 1,400 scientists from 35 countries.

The BBC covers how the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will study the change in neutrinos and anti-neutrinos as they travel 800-miles from Fermilab in Illinois to SURF in South Dakota.

SDPB speaks with the science director at SURF about the outfitting massive underground caverns at SURF.
The caverns are currently having utilities, like fire suppression and duct work installed and will host cryostats for DUNE’s far detectors.
