Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment

Twenty photos, two detectors, one goal.

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $1.6 million grant to four U.S. universities for work on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

From Michigan State University, Aug. 22, 2018: DUNE scientist Kendall Mahn of Michigan State University is featured in this article on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, which recently published its Interim Design Report.

From Meteoweb, July 26, 2018: Il Progetto PIP-II è un passo cruciale per la realizzazione del futuro esperimento DUNE che sarà realizzato nella struttura sperimentale a lunga distanza (LBNF) progettata dal Fermilab.

From STFC, Aug. 15, 2018: STFC has appointed Dave Newbold of the University of Bristol, who has been leading the data acquisition design for DUNE, as new director of its Particle Physics Department.

From Agencia FAPESP, Aug. 8, 2018: A longstanding partnership between the Brazilian scientific community and Fermilab is getting stronger, thanks in part to FAPESP’s research funding programs.

From WBBM Newsradio: Aug. 6, 2018: Fermilab has preliminary approval for its plan to upgrade its particle accelerator, which uses streams of neutrinos for a wide variety of physics research, by the middle of the next decade.

From Patch, July 30, 2018: Batavia’s Fermilab has just been approved to move forward with an accelerator project that will create more powerful particle beams to “generate an unprecedented stream of neutrinos.”

From Kane County Chronicle, July 31, 2018: The PIP-II accelerator upgrades are integral to the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, also known as DUNE, which is the largest international science experiment ever conducted on U.S. soil.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is advancing technology commonly used in dark matter experiments—and scaling it up to record-breaking sizes.
