From Patch, July 30, 2018: Batavia’s Fermilab has just been approved to move forward with an accelerator project that will create more powerful particle beams to “generate an unprecedented stream of neutrinos.”
From Kane County Chronicle, July 31, 2018: The PIP-II accelerator upgrades are integral to the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, also known as DUNE, which is the largest international science experiment ever conducted on U.S. soil.
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is advancing technology commonly used in dark matter experiments—and scaling it up to record-breaking sizes.
From Dallas News, June 28, 2018: UT Arlington students and scientists work on the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
Experience gained during the construction of prototype detectors paves the way toward the final design of the DUNE detectors.
From Agência FAPESP, July 19, 2018: Uma parceria duradoura entre a comunidade científica brasileira e o Fermilab está se tornando mais forte, graças aos programas da FAPESP de financiamento à pesquisa.
PIP-II, a particle accelerator project for generating intense neutrino beams, has achieved an important milestone.
From Sanford Underground Research Facility’s Deep Thoughts, July 17, 2018: Nearly 1,500 people attended activities at Sanford Lab’s free science festival in Lead, South Dakota, breaking the single-day record.
A program funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation supports scientists and students to engage with Fermilab’s neutrino program.
