detector technology

Researchers at Argonne have successfully commissioned a “giant cage” detector capable of filtering out 99.99% of cosmic background noise for the Mu2e experiment at Fermilab.

Detector components built at STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory arrived at Fermilab, marking the first direct shipment of these critical components from the UK to the international DUNE experiment, one of the most ambitious particle-physics experiments ever constructed.

To fill the world’s largest cryogenic particle detector, Fermilab scientists will require roughly 1,000 truckloads of liquid argon.

A collaboration of scientists and engineers are tackling the colossal engineering challenge of building massive, super-cooled containers to hold liquid argon for the DUNE experiment.

An international team led by Fermilab’s Cristián Peña created a new photon detector that can be used in quantum networking and computing, space-to-ground communication, exoplanet exploration and fundamental probes for new physics such as dark matter.

SDPB speaks with the science director at SURF about the outfitting massive underground caverns at SURF.
The caverns are currently having utilities, like fire suppression and duct work installed and will host cryostats for DUNE’s far detectors.

A collaboration of scientists tested next-generation superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SMSPDs) at Fermilab to further particle physics research.

Brazil is a leading collaborator in the development of innovative technologies for the DUNE experiment. The State University of Campinas (Unicamp) is developing technologies for the liquid argon purification process and the X-Arapuca light detector.

A detector in the Mediterranean discovered a cosmic neutrino carried 30 times more energy than any neutrino observed to date. Fermilab’s Bryan Ramson weighs in the new discovery.
