This new, two-minute animation shows how the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility will power the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to help scientists understand the role neutrinos play in the universe.
Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment
Our planned flagship long-baseline neutrino experiment, LBNF/DUNE, is predicated on Fermilab being host to the international neutrino community in a manner similar to how CERN hosts the ATLAS and CMS experiments. This CERN model of international cooperation has been very successful. Learn about some of the ongoing efforts to internationalize Fermilab and our neutrino program through this column and video.
On the road to the world’s largest neutrino detector, take the “DUNE Buggy.”
Forget wide-open spaces—this campus is in a former gold mine.
The future of Fermilab is global, as exemplified by the DUNE international effort.
The LBNF/DUNE project achieved a major milestone last week with the successful completion of a DOE Independent Project Review.
Deep in the dense core of a black hole, protons and electrons are squeezed together to form neutrons, sending ghostly particles called neutrinos streaming out. Matter falls inward. In the textbook case, matter rebounds and erupts, leaving a neutron star. But sometimes, the supernova fails, and there’s no explosion; instead, a black hole is born. Scientists hope to use neutrino experiments to watch a black hole form.
Chris Mossey observes the LBNF/DUNE CD-1R review and meets many members of the Fermilab and DOE international team.
The U.S. Department of Energy invites interested citizens to review and comment on the possible environmental effects of building and operating the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility and the associated Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
