Sanford Underground Research Facility
In support of Fermilab’s role as the host laboratory for LBNF/DUNE, the laboratory is establishing a new Fermilab division that will be located and operate at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. Named the South Dakota Services Division, it will provide the same range of operational and support services that exist at Fermilab’s main campus in Batavia. Fermilab Deputy Director for LBNF Chris Mossey serves as the acting head of the new division. Additional details will be provided…
