Massive 30-ton MicroBooNE particle detector moved into place, will see neutrinos this year
On Monday, June 23, the next phase of neutrino physics at Fermilab fell (gently) into place.
NOvA experiment sees first long-distance neutrinos
Scientists on the world’s longest-distance neutrino experiment announced today that they have seen their first neutrinos.
NOvA neutrino detector records first 3-D particle tracks
What will soon be the most powerful neutrino detector in the United States has recorded its first three-dimensional images of particles.
Fermilab experiment announces world’s best measurement of key property of neutrinos
Scientists from the MINOS experiment at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have revealed the world’s most precise measurement of a key parameter that governs the transformation of one type of neutrino to another.
Surprise difference in neutrino and antineutrino mass lessening with new measurements from a Fermilab experiment
The physics community got a jolt last year when results showed for the first time that neutrinos and their antimatter counterparts, antineutrinos, might be the odd man out in the particle world and have different masses.
Officials break ground for the world’s most advanced neutrino experiment
Congressman James Oberstar of Minnesota and Congressman Bill Foster of Illinois today (May 1) are joining officials from the U.S. Department of Energy, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of Minnesota to break ground for NOvA, the world’s most advanced neutrino experiment.
MINOS experiment sheds light on mystery of neutrino disappearance
An international collaboration of scientists at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory announced today (March 30, 2006) the first results of a new neutrino experiment.
MINOS Neutrino Experiment Launched at Fermilab
Officials at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory today (March 4, 2005) dedicated the MINOS experiment and the beam that will send subatomic particles called neutrinos from Fermilab, near Chicago, to a particle detector in Minnesota.
Fermilab Experiment Prepares to Send Its First Neutrinos to Minnesota
Scientists at the Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will begin a projected five-year experiment in early February, 2005 by sending the first batches of subatomic particles called neutrinos on a path through the earth from the laboratory, about 40 miles west of Chicago, to a detector located in the historic Soudan iron mine a half-mile underground in the northeastern corner of Minnesota, about 450 miles away.
