From Texas Tech Today, Aug. 5, 2019: Texas Tech physicists have been looking for dark matter at the CMS experiment at CERN and studying neutrinos.

From the University of Houston, Oct. 11, 2018: ProtoDUNE, a prototype for what will be a much bigger detector at the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, has been recording particle tracks, and physicists all over the world are collecting the data.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is advancing technology commonly used in dark matter experiments—and scaling it up to record-breaking sizes.

From Dallas News, June 28, 2018: UT Arlington students and scientists work on the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

From Dallas Morning News, June 28, 2018: Members of the world’s particle physics community are launching the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to understand the early universe. For Fermilab user Jaehoon Yu, DUNE also opens possibilities beyond curiosity-driven research.

A team of scientists using the Dark Energy Camera was among the first to observe the fiery aftermath of a recently detected burst of gravitational waves, recording images of the first confirmed explosion from two colliding neutron stars ever seen by astronomers.

Fermilab’s summer interns exchange lazy days for lab experience.

After more than a decade of running, on June 29, the Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search experiment and its second iteration, MINOS+, concluded their runs.
