Mark Ross‑Lonergan elected co-spokesperson for MicroBooNE collaboration
MicroBooNE, with its large neutrino detector at Fermilab, has wrapped up the data-collecting phase and will continue to conduct analysis under fresh leadership.
DUNE will use liquid-argon time projection chamber technology both near and far
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment’s innovative hybrid near detector will be a game changer. An active prototyping program over the last few years has been refining and validating the design of this smaller detector’s key element, a liquid-argon time projection chamber, and the data analysis tools and methods that go with it.
Fermilab marks major milestone for world-leading DUNE experiment
An event at the far site of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota marked the start of steel beams being lowered underground to house DUNE’s massive particle detectors. The event was attended by senior leaders from the Department of Energy; members of Congress; Fermilab, CERN and SURF leadership; and members of the local community, all of whom had the chance to sign one of the steel beams being installed.
