neutrino

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

In its quest to understand why matter exists, the flagship neutrino experiment hosted by Fermilab is constructing an enormous next-generation liquid-argon-based detector a mile underground. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building on the successes of previous liquid-argon experiments, promising measurements of unprecedented precision over a wide range of energies that will bring significant new insights into the nature of the universe.

The Short-Baseline Near Detector has logged the largest sample of neutrino interactions in liquid argon in the world. Newly elected, Andrzej Szelc will co-lead SBND during the next phase of the experiment.

Scientists reveal that strange neutrino behavior could change how stars collapse, possibly leading to black holes instead of neutron stars.

On July 21, 2000, the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab announced the first direct evidence for tau neutrinos. The particles remain elusive to this day, but physicists continue to seek new ways of studying them.

The 17th annual Neutrino Day took place on July 12 in Lead, South Dakota. The festival is inspired by the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), an international project operated in part at SURF.

The B1M channel, the world’s largest online video channel for construction projects, describes the LBNF/DUNE project and how it will help us continue to advance particle physics research.

Particle physics experiments use detectors that are intricate, sophisticated devices for learning about the origins and composition of the universe. The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is designed to tackle one of physics’ biggest mysteries — matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe — by studying neutrinos. Production of Anode Plane Assemblies, detector components that will allow DUNE to achieve exquisite measurement precision, requires skilled technicians, a cleverly designed machine and an incredible attention to detail.

Rice University recently hosted its first DUNE-TECH camp to prepare students with hands-on experience and training using cutting-edge tools and technologies needed to contribute to the DUNE experiment and to neutrino physics experiments.

In South Dakota, at SURF, scientists have built three huge tunnels about 1,500 meters below the ground. Here, a massive experiment called DUNE is taking place with more than 1,400 scientists from 35 countries.
