As the DUNE collaboration grows, collaborators make progress on the two ProtoDUNE detectors at CERN.

In a new result unveiled at the Neutrino 2018 conference in Heidelberg, Germany, the collaboration has announced its first results using antineutrinos, and has seen strong evidence of muon antineutrinos oscillating into electron antineutrinos.

From Quanta, June 1, 2018: MiniBooNE, a Fermilab experiment, has detected far more electron neutrinos than predicted — a possible harbinger of a revolutionary new elementary particle called the sterile neutrino, though many physicists remain skeptical.

From Science News, June 1, 2018: The MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab found more interactions of neutrinos and antineutrinos than expected, mirroring a puzzling excess found more than two decades ago.

From SDPB Radio, May 17, 2018: Underground experiments DUNE and the Majorana Demonstrator seek an understanding of the neutrino. Fermilab Deputy Director Chris Mossey and scientist Deborah Harris discuss DUNE.
