DUNE collaboration completes Interim Design Report for gigantic particle detectors
The DUNE Interim Design Report is now available online. The more than 1,000 scientists and engineers from 32 countries working on the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), hosted by…
Odia scientist in BARC gets pat from Modi
PIP-II transportation test frame is ready for action
Cryomodules are essential components for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s accelerator complex upgrade, known as the Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II. PIP-II features a brand-new,…
Particle detector at Fermilab plays crucial role in Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment
A century ago, physicists didn’t know about the existence of neutrinos, the most abundant, elusive and ethereal subatomic particles of matter in the universe. Although they are abundant, each individual…
DOE science and innovation officials visit projects, see progress at Fermilab
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is in the midst of many scientific enhancements and discoveries. On May 1, DOE Under Secretary for Science and Innovation Geraldine…

Fermilab and University of Bern join forces for neutrino physics
Neutrinos are ubiquitous yet elusive particles that could shed light on the early evolution of the universe. As one of the world’s major laboratories for neutrino physics, Fermilab partners with…
LBNF/DUNE gears up for next stage of construction in South Dakota
A mile below the surface in South Dakota, massive subterranean caverns are taking shape. These will one day become part of the the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, home to the international…
DUNE collaboration starts production of components for its gigantic neutrino detector
How can you study a particle that’s almost invisible? For the last decade, Justin Evans at the University of Manchester has been asking this question. “The neutrino is clearly a…
Testing wraps up for first Fermilab-designed cryomodule for PIP-II accelerator
There is a first time for everything. Sometimes that thing is a highly complex machine designed to accelerate an 800-million-electronvolt proton beam to enable decades’ worth of cutting-edge experiments at…
