Preparing for the sterile neutrino search: Fermilab breaks ground on Short-Baseline Near Detector building
On April 27, Fermilab broke ground on the building that will house the future Short-Baseline Near Detector. The particle detector is one of three that, together, Fermilab scientists and collaborators will use to search for the sterile neutrino.
