DOE and CERN last week signed three new agreements outlining the contributions CERN will make to the Fermilab neutrino program and DOE’s contributions to the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider upgrade program.
DUNE
In particle physics, the difference of a millimeter or two can make or break an experiment.
Blucher has dedicated most of his career to one of DUNE’s major science goals, and he’s excited by the scale of this experiment and its potential for a breakthrough.
How do you transport 70,000 tons of liquid argon nearly a mile underground?
Researchers from around the world sign on to be a part of the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
From CERN Courier, Feb. 15, 2017: CERN makes rapid progress towards prototype detectors for the international DUNE experiment.
U.S.-CERN partnership takes on the mystery of neutrinos.
The U.S. Department of Energy supports a suite of cutting-edge science experiments at Sanford Lab. Fermilab has assumed a new role at the South Dakota facility.
From Inside Science, Nov. 2, 2016: In this 3-minute video, DUNE co-spokesperson Mark Thomson talks about Fermilab’s search for neutrinos and how scientists capture the rare interactions of the elusive particles. Fermilab’s DUNE animation is featured.
From Northern Star, Sept. 15, 2016: Dan Boyden, third year physics graduate at Northern Illinois University, is hoping to be sent to Switzerland to work hands-on for DUNE, an international particle experiment including more than 140 labs and universities across 27 countries.
