Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visits Fermilab

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see how the lab is driving American leadership in fundamental sciences and discovery, including in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence. His tour included one of the laboratory’s five particle accelerators, and the Secretary learned more about Fermilab’s flagship project, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Precision and ingenuity drive construction of DUNE detector components

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.
