MicroBooNE

MicroBooNE, with its large neutrino detector at Fermilab, has wrapped up the data-collecting phase and will continue to conduct analysis under fresh leadership.

Scientists from South Dakota Mines served as the lead institution for MircoBooNE’s milestone measurement. The Mines research team relied on the MicroBooNE detector’s ultra-high-resolution imaging, which enables scientists to see particle tracks with millimeter precision.

A bus-sized neutrino detector housed at the Fermilab has investigated the anomalies of previous experiments involving sterile neutrinos.

The American Physical Society has honored researchers at Fermilab for their outstanding contributions to physics. These recognitions include major APS prizes and fellowships, underscoring the laboratory’s leadership in advancing scientific discovery.

For the past decade, MicroBooNE researchers measured changes in neutrinos using two accelerator neutrino beams

After a series of experiments, MicroBooNE scientists have ruled out the sterile neutrino, taking at least one complication out of explaining phenomena beyond the Standard Model of particle physics.

Throughout this year, Fermilab’s dedicated scientists, engineers, technicians and operations staff came together to drive discoveries, advance American innovation and prepare the lab for a bright future.

The experiment demonstrated the power of liquid-argon time projection chamber technology for neutrino research, and to date, the collaboration has published more than 80 scientific papers, helping lay the foundation for Fermilab’s neutrino research program.

New results from the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab found no evidence of a hypothetical fourth flavor of neutrino.

An international collaboration of scientists working on the MicroBooNE experiment at Fermilab announced that they have found no evidence for a fourth type of neutrino, known as a sterile neutrino.
