This experimental physicist has followed the ICARUS neutrino detector from Gran Sasso to Geneva to Chicago.

In 1990, Penny Kasper, Danying Yi and I were all graduate students on the E791 experiment.

From CNN, July 22, 2017: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln explains how the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, which had its groundbreaking ceremony on July 21, could answer important questions of the universe, including, “Where did the antimatter go?”.

After a six-week journey from CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, the ICARUS detector is expected to arrive at Fermilab late afternoon today, July 26.

From The Wall Street Journal, July 21, 2017: Scientists celebrated the launch of an improbable physics experiment that will shoot subatomic particles through 800 miles of rock and dirt to study some fundamental cosmic riddles. [subscription required]

From Science, July 21, 2017: To build the modular detector, workers have to carve out massive caverns 1,480 meters underground, haul out stone that weighs as much as a dozen aircraft carries, and truck in millions of liters of frigid liquid argon. On July 21, officials gathered deep underground to turn the first few shovels of stone.

A groundbreaking ceremony held at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, marks the start of construction of a massive international experiment that could change our understanding of the universe.

From Idaho State University, July 19, 2017: Tatar plans to participate in the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility groundbreaking ceremony in South Dakota, joining a group of world known scientists.

On Friday, July 21, a new era of physics in the United States will officially begin. The groundbreaking ceremony for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility will streamed live.
