First beam accelerated in PIP-II cryomodules, ushering in new era of superconducting-accelerator operation at Fermilab
…multinational contributions — will enable the production of intense neutrino beams to the international, Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. The versatile 800-million-electronvolt, 215-meter-long machine will also be capable of sending…
Breakthrough MicroBooNE measurement elucidates neutrino interactions
Editor’s note: this press release was originally published by Brookhaven National Laboratory. Physicists studying ghost-like particles called neutrinos from the international MicroBooNE collaboration have reported a first-of-its-kind measurement: a comprehensive…
Finding the missing pieces in the puzzle of an antineutrino’s energy
…produced by antineutrinos interacting on a plastic target. The way antineutrinos change between their various types could help explain why the modern universe is dominated by matter. The most promising…
Scientists move a step closer to understanding the βcold spotβ in the cosmic microwave background
…quarter of the Southern Hemisphere.” Scientists previously counted the number of galaxies visible in the location of the CMB Cold Spot and found an underdensity of galaxies in that region….
Playing pool with neutrinos
…neutrinos in current and future neutrino oscillation experiments, such as the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab. They are similar to the elastic interactions every pool player knows…
Why choose liquid argon for DUNE detectors?
What can neutrinos — particles that are imperceptible to all but the most sensitive devices ever built — tell us about how matter triumphed over antimatter in the early universe?…
