DUNE

You are invited to join a live event at the CERN neutrino platform, Fermilab’s neutrino control room and SURF’s Ross Hoistroom for, “Particle pursuit, a journey of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment” on June 15 at 11:00 a.m. CDT. All three labs will be broadcasting live simultaneously for a behind scenes tour of the preparations for DUNE and discussing all things neutrinos.

From CERN, June 6, 2023: Join CERN, Fermilab and Sanford Underground Research Facility on June 15 at 11 a.m. CDT for its first gameshow-style livestream to learn about all things neutrinos. Click to learn more about this exciting virtual event.

From WBEZ Chicago, April 26, 2023: Fermilab’s Sam Zeller talks with WBEZ about what are neutrinos, why they are important and the relevance of studying them with the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Prototyping is an indispensable step in the development of particle physics experiments like DUNE and projects like PIP-II.

On April 13, Gov. Pritzker and other local legislators joined DOE officials at Fermilab for the “Building Fermilab’s Future” event, which marked the opening of the IERC and PIP-II Cryoplant buildings and the groundbreaking for the Linac Complex.

Scientists working on the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are developing a vertical drift detector. The new technology may open doors to building large neutrino detectors at a lower cost and in a simpler manner.

The international DUNE collaboration is conducting final tests of the components for its first neutrino detector module, to be installed a mile underground in South Dakota. Preparations for ramping up the mass production of these components are underway.

Representatives from science funding agencies from around the world will convene in Lead, South Dakota, the future home of the large particle detector for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

From Bioengineer.org, March 21, 2023: Congratulations to Mary Bishai, distinguished scientist from Brookhaven National Laboratory, who has been elected co-spokesperson of the international project DUNE. Bishai began working on DUNE in 2012 and will lead DUNE’s 1,400-member international collaboration alongside Sergio Bertolucci, a physics professor at the University of Bologna.

Bishai and Bertolucci lead the 1,400-member collaboration of scientists and engineers of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab.
