Scientists working on the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have identified the detector's first neutrino interactions. The SBND collaboration has been ...
The Short Baseline Neutrino Program at Fermilab differs from previous short-baseline measurements with accelerator-made neutrinos because it features both a near detector and far detector. SBND will ...
NOvA, Fermilab's largest operating neutrino experiment, studies a behavior called neutrino oscillation. The three neutrino types change character, morphing in and out of their types as they travel.
Catherine James quietly held her cellphone up and took a few photos, then stopped and stared.The Fermilab scientist could not help but reflect a bit on the large box sitting on a flatbed that ...
While the detector isn’t overly massive it still needs to be handled with care. This means the truck transporting it to its final destination at Fermilab can only crawl at 20mph. The ICARUS ...
The DUNE detector at Fermilab will analyze the neutrino beam close to its origin, where the beam is extremely intense. Collaborators expect this near detector to record about 50 interactions per pulse ...
Lying 1.6km below ground in a former gold mine, the spaces are some 150 m long and seven storeys tall and will house DUNE’s four neutrino detector tanks, each filled with 17 000 tonnes of liquid argon ...
The final Fermilab measurement is (116592070.5 ± 11.4  (stat.) ± 9.1 (syst.) ± 2.1  (ext.)) × 10 –11, fully consistent with ...
The accelerators will fire an extremely powerful beam of neutrinos first through a detector at Fermilab. The beam will then travel underground for 800 miles to the detectors at the South Dakota ...
The detectors will each be filled with 17,000 tons of liquid argon, cooled to -229 degrees Fahrenheit (-184 degrees C), which the neutrinos interact with, allowing physicists to detect them.
Neutrinos will be sent from Fermilab in Batavia 800 miles west to liquid argon-filled detectors at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota. The goal is to have the first ...
In contrast, SBND was built specifically for the Fermilab neutrino program. This detector is located closer to where the neutrinos are created and is smaller than ICARUS.
