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

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment’s innovative hybrid near detector will be a game changer. An active prototyping program over the last few years has been refining and validating the design of this smaller detector’s key element, a liquid-argon time projection chamber, and the data analysis tools and methods that go with it.

Physicist Steven Gardiner recently received a Department of Energy Early Career Award to explore the low-energy research potential of the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. By applying his unique background in neutron simulations, he aims to leverage the massive detector modules of DUNE to study elusive particles from outer space.

During an event at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., officials honored the successful collaboration between the United States and United Kingdom for building the PIP-II particle accelerator at Fermilab. The powerful new accelerator will be used to send a beam of neutrinos through the Earth for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Detector components built at STFC’s Daresbury Laboratory arrived at Fermilab, marking the first direct shipment of these critical components from the UK to the international DUNE experiment, one of the most ambitious particle-physics experiments ever constructed.

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

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is building the largest underground cryogenic system ever attempted to support its massive liquid-argon detectors.

Deep inside a converted gold mine in South Dakota, researchers are tackling a colossal engineering challenge — building massive, super-cooled containers to hold liquid argon for a flagship physics experiment hosted by Fermilab for the international DUNE collaboration.

Gray Putnam, James Mott, Lauren Yates and Chris Jensen are this year’s recipients of the URA Honorary Awards. The awards are presented each year to recognize significant contributions to research at Fermilab.

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.
