Nothing beats a small experiment for the breadth of experience it gives the scientist.
NMSU physics department awarded $1.26 million DOE grant
From KRWG, June 26, 2018: The three-year grant will fund New Mexico State University physics faculty, students and postdoctoral researchers for three projects: SeaQuest, MicroBooNE and PHENIX.
This ghostly subatomic particle could help us understand dark matter
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.
Der 4. Geschmack? Wissenschaftler schließen sich einer neuen Art an Neutrino

Evidencias de una nueva partícula que ‘cambiará la Física’
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.
The fourth flavor? Scientists close in on a new kind of neutrino
From Live Science, June 18, 2018: Fermilab’s Don Lincoln gives the lowdown on how scientists discovered neutrino oscillation, leading into MiniBooNE’s latest measurement related to the sterile neutrino.
Fourth neutrino or systematic error?
From Physics Today, June 14, 2018: New results from MiniBooNE confirm tantalizing evidence from 20 years ago of an additional neutrino species, but they also fly in the face of findings from other recent experiments.
A major physics experiment just detected a particle that shouldn’t exist
From NBC News, June 10, 2018: Fermilab scientists have produced the firmest evidence yet of sterile neutrinos, decades after the first evidence of them turned up.
Weird neutrino excess won’t go away, hints at new physics
From Ars Technica, June 8, 2018: Fermilab’s latest update on the sterile neutrino uses two additional years of MiniBooNE data. The measurements have edged even closer to the statistical standards for discovery.
