DUNE

Scientists reveal that strange neutrino behavior could change how stars collapse, possibly leading to black holes instead of neutron stars.

Particle physics experiments investigate the origins and composition of the universe, and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is designed to address the prevalence of matter over antimatter through the study of neutrinos.

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab to observe research, including the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility-Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (LBNF-DUNE) project which utilises neutrinos to investigate fundamental physics.

The 17th annual Neutrino Day took place on July 12 in Lead, South Dakota. The festival is inspired by the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), an international project operated in part at SURF.

Fermilab participated in SURF’s annual Neutrino Day on July 12. Scientists and engineers from the lab participated in a livestream event from the underground caverns and spoke with visitors above ground about DUNE.

Fermilab will be participating in the 17th annual Neutrino Day in Lead, SD on July 12. The citywide science festival is free to all and will include a livestream underground tour of DUNE and a live with Fermilab crews.

South Dakota Public Broadcasting recently went underground in Lead, SD to learn about major projects at SURF. This includes Lux Zeppelin, CASPAR and DUNE.

Particle physics experiments use detectors that are intricate, sophisticated devices for learning about the origins and composition of the universe. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is designed to tackle one of physics’ biggest mysteries — matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe — by studying neutrinos. Production of Anode Plane Assemblies, detector components that will allow DUNE to achieve exquisite measurement precision, requires skilled technicians, a cleverly designed machine and an incredible attention to detail.

Rice University recently hosted its first DUNE-TECH camp to prepare students with hands-on experience and training using cutting-edge tools and technologies needed to contribute to the DUNE experiment and to neutrino physics experiments.

Fermilab directors and technicians were at Unicamp recently as part of the technical visit schedule of the research program for neutrino identification called LBNF/DUNE. The Brazilian team is developing the technology for photodetection of the light generated by the particle detectors and the production of highly pure liquid argon.
