neutrino

A pair of results bring neutrinos into the new era of multimessenger astronomy.

From Scientific American, June 27, 2018: There are plenty of arguments for why the lesser known Greek letter should be as popular as its more famous cousin, pi. Tau is the name given to one of the charged leptons and its partner neutrino, discovered in 2000 at Fermilab.

Nothing beats a small experiment for the breadth of experience it gives the scientist.

In a collaborative, cross-laboratory effort, Fermilab’s HEPCloud program enabled NOvA to perform the largest antineutrino data analysis ever in record time.

From Meteoweb, June 30, 2018: Accordo tra Stati Uniti e Italia per lo Short Baseline Neutrino (SBN), che sarà il progetto americano di punta per la ricerca sui neutrini.

On June 28, the U.S. Department of Energy and the Italian Embassy signed an agreement for collaboration on research with the international Short-Baseline Neutrino program hosted at Fermilab.

From ABC7 Chicago, June 10, 2018: Fermilab is featured on ABC show Built to Last, picked up by dozens of ABC affiliates. The 13-minute segment includes interviews with Tim Meyer, Valerie Higgins and Rhonda Merchut. Scroll to episode 5. Fermilab segment starts at 1:31.

From CNN, June 19, 2018: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln explains how studying neutrinos became an intellectual industry. There were dozens of independent experiments telling a consistent story, each reporting similar values for the parameters being studied. Well, except for one.

From Nachrichten Welt, June 18, 2018: German publication picks up Don Lincoln’s Live Science article on MiniBooNE and its search for the sterile neutrino.

From La Voz de Cadiz, June 18, 2018: El periodista José Manuel Nieves habla sobre el reciente hallazgo de la mayor evidencia que existe por el momento a favor de los neutrinos estériles.
