neutrino physics

Hundreds of Black Hills residents joined the DUNE celebration in Lead by signing one of the massive beams that will be placed underground as part of the DUNE detector structures.

Officials and international partners of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment gathered in Lead, SD, on May 7 to celebrate the installation of the detector structures.

The milestone by ICARUS paves the way to probe sterile‑neutrino oscillations for the full Short-Baseline Neutrino Program at Fermilab. The first results demonstrate the data’s excellent quality and suitability for physics analyses, as well as the maturity of the software tools for event selection, fitting and detector simulation.

Distinguished Scientist Fellow Mary Bishai shares her reflections on a career investigating the mysterious particles called neutrinos.

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.

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

A new paper from researchers at the University of Melbourne shows that DUNE will be able to measure the total flux of all neutrino types using neutral current interactions with argon nuclei.

Fermilab participated in SURF’s annual Neutrino Day on July 12. Scientists and engineers from the lab participated in a livestream event from the underground caverns and spoke with visitors above ground about DUNE.

SDPB speaks with the science director at SURF about the outfitting massive underground caverns at SURF.
The caverns are currently having utilities, like fire suppression and duct work installed and will host cryostats for DUNE’s far detectors.

For more than two decades, a particle beam from Fermilab has been aimed at the NOvA experiment in Arrowhead, Minn. where researchers have been trying to understand neutrinos.
