A collaboration with fewer than 100 members has played an important role in Fermilab’s ongoing partnership with Latin American scientists and institutions.
MINERvA
Scientists working on the MINERvA experiment at Fermilab have examined a few ways neutrons can affect the measurements of antineutrino interactions.
The Universities Research Association recognizes Fermilab scientist Laura Fields for her contributions to the field of accelerator-based neutrino physics. She co-leads the MINERvA experiment, which is making measurements necessary for tuning models of neutrino interactions used in ongoing and future neutrino experiments, and helped design a new focusing system for Fermilab’s LBNF neutrino beam.
On Feb. 26, a team on Fermilab’s MINERvA neutrino experiment gathered around a computer screen to officially conclude its data acquisition. Even with the data collection over, the work marches on. MINERvA now turns its attention to analyzing the data it has collected over the past nine years of its run.
The MINERvA neutrino experiment has a new crime scene investigation technique, one that takes a hard look at the traces that particles leave before fleeing the scene. Researchers used a new technique in a recent MINERvA neutrino investigation. And the new insights they gained on the workings of nuclear effects can help other neutrino experiments.
From iNGENET, Sept. 4, 2018: En entrevista con la Agencia Informativa Conacyt, el profesor e investigador de la División de Ciencias e Ingenierías campus León, de la Universidad de Guanajuato, Julián Félix Valdez, destacó el papel de los proyectos, las colaboraciones y participación de los estudiantes de este laboratorio, además de la creación de tecnología propia para la exploración del mundo físico.
Fermilab’s MINERvA experiment gives a boost to the particle physics field by sharpening a model of a frequent, pesky phenomenon.
The amount of time a neutrino has to oscillate is directly related to the distance the neutrino travels and the energy of the neutrino itself. Measuring the distance is easy. The hard part is measuring the neutrino energy.
Neutral-pion production is a major character in a story of mistaken identity worthy of an Agatha Christie novel.
MINERvA measures the energy a neutrino imparts to protons and neutrons inside a heavy nucleus.
