Scientists assemble final detector of Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Neutrino Program
- detector
- neutrino interactions
- Short-Baseline Near Detector
- Short-Baseline Neutrino program
- sterile neutrino
- UNICAMP
This summer, a team of scientists, engineers and technicians finished installing one of the main components that will create the strong electric field within the Short-Baseline Near Detector. Now they are getting ready to assemble the rest of the detector.
New results from NOvA experiment shed more light on neutrinos’ identity-changing behavior
The NOvA collaboration has released the result of its latest measurement of neutrino oscillations. The results provide greater insight into neutrino properties, specifically mass ordering and charge parity symmetry.
The coevolution of particle physics and computing
Over time, particle physics and astrophysics and computing have built upon one another’s successes. That coevolution continues today. New physics experiments require computing innovation, including cluster computing for the Tevatron, and more recently machine learning and quantum problem-solving.
Bringing the whole self to science
The Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science helps students and professionals find community.
DOE invests $13.7 million for research in data reduction for science
The U.S. Department of Energy recently announced $13.7 million in funding for nine research projects that will advance the state of the art in computer science and applied mathematics. One of the recipients of this funding, Fermilab scientist Nhan Tran will lead a project to explore methods for programming custom hardware accelerators for streaming compression.
Curious physics results could shed light on dark matter
Even experiments that aren’t looking for dark matter directly, such as Muon g-2, could give us hints about the mysterious substance that permeates our universe.
SQMS Center announces the addition of Rutgers University-New Brunswick to its growing collaboration
Rutgers joins 19 other contributing partners, representing national labs, academia and industry, to conduct SQMS research activities.
Teaching a particle detector new tricks
Scientists from Fermilab and other institutions hoping to find new, long-lived particles at the Large Hadron Collider recently realized, with CMS, they may already have the detector to do it.
URA names John Mester next executive director and chief executive officer
The physicist succeeds Marta Cehelsky, who has been at the helm of the Universities Research Association since 2011.
