neutrinos

Researchers at the University of Oxford and the MicroBooNE collaboration have recently performed the first ever measurement of electron neutrino interactions on argon producing outgoing charged pions. The findings were reported in a cover article of Physical Review Letters.

DUNE is one of the new experiments that will focus on understanding the enigmatic neutrino may offer insights.

A new paper from researchers at the University of Melbourne shows that DUNE will be able to measure the total flux of all neutrino types using neutral current interactions with argon nuclei.

Particle physics experiments investigate the origins and composition of the universe, and the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is designed to address the prevalence of matter over antimatter through the study of neutrinos.

Fermilab will be participating in the 17th annual Neutrino Day in Lead, SD on July 12. The citywide science festival is free to all and will include a livestream underground tour of DUNE and a live with Fermilab crews.

LSA Magazine spoke with associate scientist Bryan Ramson about neutrinos, which play a fundamental role in unlocking the mysteries of the universe.

A new study explores the possibility of studying the sun’s interiors using neutrinos. By studying oscillations at different energy levels, scientists can infer details about the sun’s density structure beyond what traditional models provide.

A detector in the Mediterranean discovered a cosmic neutrino carried 30 times more energy than any neutrino observed to date. Fermilab’s Bryan Ramson weighs in the new discovery.

Particle accelerator beams can create significant damage to the targets used to generate particles for experiments. Researchers are designing targets to withstand material degradation from radiation damage, shock from thermal expansion and material fatigue — all caused by accelerated protons.
