Early tests pave the way for a giant neutrino detector
From Science News, Sept. 18, 2018: An enormous future particle detector is now within closer reach. The first data from a prototype experiment, ProtoDUNE, hint that scientists may have what it takes to build the planned neutrino detector.
William & Mary team works to bring massive international neutrino experiment on line
From William & Mary, Sept. 18, 2018: Scientists on the DUNE collaboration think that neutrinos may help answer one of the most pressing questions in physics: why we live in a universe dominated by matter. The project includes a substantial William & Mary contingent.
First particle tracks seen in prototype for international neutrino experiment
From University of Manchester, Sept. 18, 2018: The largest liquid-argon neutrino detector in the world has recorded its first particle tracks, signaling the start of a new chapter in the story of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. The university is playing a leading role in a £65million flagship global science project.
First particle tracks for international neutrino experiment
From CERN, Sept. 18, 2018: The technology of the first ProtoDUNE detector will be the same to be used for the first of the DUNE detector modules in the United States.
How not to be fooled in physics
Particle physicists and astrophysicists employ a variety of tools to avoid erroneous results.
This experiment will shoot ghostly particles through Earth, answer why we exist
From Live Science, Sept. 18, 2018: On the occasion of the ProtoDUNE detector seeing its first signals, Fermilab’s Don Lincoln lays out the research goals of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
First particle tracks seen in prototype for international neutrino experiment
From Brookhaven, Sept. 18, 2018: The enormous ProtoDUNE detector – the size of a three-story house and the shape of a gigantic cube – was built at CERN as the first of two prototypes for what will be a much, much larger detector for the DUNE project, hosted by Fermilab.
UK scientists contribute to project to unlock the mysteries of neutrinos and antimatter
From STFC, Sept. 18, 2018: The enormous ProtoDUNE detector is the largest liquid-argon neutrino detector in the world. The size of a three-story house and the shape of a gigantic cube it has just recorded its first particle tracks signaling the start of a new chapter in the story of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
The Large Hadron Collider turns 10: Here’s what’s next for particle physics
From Gizmodo, Sept. 11, 2018: The Large Hadron Collider started up in 2008, and in 2012, LHC scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. Here’s what else is happening at the famous collider. Recent CMS spokesperson and Fermilab scientist Joel Butler comments.
