Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility

Fermilab and Sanford Lab expect conveyor installation to begin in mid-2018.

The world’s largest liquid-argon neutrino detector, ICARUS, is about to make its way from CERN to Fermilab to begin its new mission: hunting for a previously undetected fourth type of neutrino.

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.

Researchers from around the world sign on to be a part of the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

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 Deep Thoughts, Oct. 24, 2016: The science at Sanford Lab directly contributes to South Dakota’s economy, and according to the facility, it’s only going to grow with the installation of LBNF.

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.

From Physics Today, Aug. 23, 2016: Here are six reasons to believe that neutrinos might provide the window into new physics that the LHC has not.

From Cosmos Magazine, May 19, 2016: The most elusive particles in the universe – neutrinos – might not stay hidden for much longer. Testing for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, or DUNE, began earlier this year.

This new, two-minute animation shows how the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility will power the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to help scientists understand the role neutrinos play in the universe.
