To fill the the world’s largest cryogenic particle detector, Fermilab scientists will require roughly 1,000 truckloads of liquid argon.
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building the largest underground cryogenic system ever attempted to support its massive liquid-argon detectors.
A signing ceremony held at Fermilab opened the next stage of cooperation for design, manufacturing and testing of cryogenic subsystems for DUNE’s neutrino detector modules in Lead, South Dakota.

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.
Deep inside a converted gold mine in South Dakota, researchers are tackling a colossal engineering challenge — building massive, super-cooled containers to hold liquid argon for a flagship physics experiment hosted by Fermilab for the international DUNE collaboration.
In its quest to understand why matter exists, the flagship neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab is constructing an enormous next-generation liquid-argon-based detector a mile underground. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building on the successes of previous liquid-argon experiments, promising measurements of unprecedented precision over a wide range of energies that will bring significant new insights into the nature of the universe.
In addition to revealing characteristics of mysterious particles called neutrinos, the massive DUNE experiment could help astronomers find a supernova right as it begins.
