Meet the detectors of Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Neutrino Program, hunting for signs of a possible fourth type of neutrino.
Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility
The ProtoDUNE detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are behemoths in their own right.
Secretary Perry’s visit encompassed the breadth of the Fermilab research program and included a town hall meeting with lab employees and users.
From Physics World, January 2018: Nigel Lockyer talks about the future of particle physics – and why neutrinos hold the key.
From Rapid City Journal, Nov. 29, 2017: For more than five years, Ross Shaft crews have been stripping out old steel and lacing, cleaning out decades of debris, adding new ground support and installing new steel to prepare the shaft for its future role in world-leading science. On Oct. 12, all that hard work paid off when the team, which worked its way down from the surface, reached a major milestone: the 4850 Level. Deputy Director Chris Mossey weighs in.
As the lab builds an international neutrino science portfolio, new partnership agreements have been signed with institutions in six countries.
One day after signing the first ever umbrella science and technology agreement between the U.S. and the UK and announcing $88 million in funding for LBNF/DUNE, UK science minister Jo Johnson visited Fermilab for a tour.
From Science, Sept. 20, 2017: UK pledges $88 million to gigantic U.S. particle physics experiment — DUNE.
The United Kingdom and the United States have signed the first ever umbrella science and technology agreement between the two nations, and the UK has committed $88 million to the LBNF/DUNE project.
A new contractor has officially signed on to help prepare for the excavation and construction of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
