From Yale News, October 27, 2021: On Oct. 27, the international MicroBooNE collaboration announced the first results of MicroBooNE’s search for an anomaly that could have indicated a fourth type of neutrino, a subatomic particle considered a fundamental building block of matter.
From the BBC, October 27, 2021: Yesterday, the MIcroBooNE collaboration opened a new chapter in physics with the announcement of their results; the search failed to find the particle, known as the sterile neutrino.
Four complementary analyses by Fermilab’s MicroBooNE show no signs of a theorized fourth kind of neutrino known as the sterile neutrino. Its existence is considered a possible explanation for anomalies seen in previous physics experiments.
From PBS, October 6, 9:00 pm CT: Tune in to the PBS premiere of Particles Unknown-the hunt for the universe’s most common yet elusive particle, this Wednesday on your local PBS channel. Starting with Ray Davis’ quest for neutrinos that began in 1965, Nova explores Fermilab’s search for sterile neutrinos and interviews Sam Zeller and Angela Fava from the Neutrino Division. Check your local PBS station programming to confirm the date and time of Particles Unknown.
From Yahoo news (Portugal), October 4, 2021: Fermilab is using three detectors to better understand neutrinos to study their oscillations in unprecedented detail. Scientists hope this will learn more about the “ghost particles” in the universe.
From the Daily Herald, September 30, 2021: From Glenbrook South high school to the deputy head of the Neutrino Division, an interview with Fermilab rock star Sam Zeller.
The NOvA collaboration has released the result of its latest measurement of neutrino oscillations. The results provide greater insight into neutrino properties, specifically mass ordering and charge parity symmetry.
From Scientific American, September 14, 2021: Fermilab theorist Marcela Carena writes about the ever changing behavior of muons and the first result of the Muon g-2 experiment that suggested muons were not acting as current theory prescribes in an article titled, “Weird muons may point to new particles and forces of nature,” posted in Scientific American.
From Columbia News, September 8, 2021: A Q&A with physicist Georgia Karagiorgi explaining her fascination with neutrinos and particle physics and what she hopes to learn at the Fermilab.
From the Black Hills Pioneer, Sept. 2, 2021: Fermilab design manager for DUNE Joshua Willhet takes readers 4,850 feet underground to view and describe the excavation of the tunnels that will make way to the caverns of the LBNF for DUNE.
