The hunt for the truest north
Many theories predict the existence of magnetic monopoles, but experiments have yet to see them.
Providing precise neutrino measurements with MINERvA
The puzzle: understanding how nearly undetectable particles, called neutrinos, interact with normal matter. The solution? The clever MINERvA experiment, which shares its name with the Roman goddess of wisdom.
