The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment will generate the world’s most intense beam of high-energy accelerator neutrinos at Fermilab in Illinois, and send them 800 miles (1,300 km) straight through ...

Collapsing stars might act as cosmic laboratories for discovering hidden neutrino interactions. Neutrinos are among the most puzzling particles in the universe. Nearly massless and incredibly elusive, ...

The experiment seeks to observe a phenomenon in atomic nuclei called “neutrinoless double-beta decay.” This observation would prove that neutrinos are their own antiparticles. The existence of this ...

A ceremony on Aug. 15, 2024, marks the completed excavation of caverns for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment in the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, at the Sanford Underground Research ...

Neutrinos, ghostly particles barely interacting with matter, may secretly be reshaping the fates of massive stars. New ...

Construction workers have finished creating two caverns, each more than 500 feet long and about seven stories tall, for the gigantic particle detector modules of the Deep Underground Neutrino ...

The individual experiments receive millions of dollars in funding from NSF and DOE, and a proposed future experiment, the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility and associated Deep Underground Neutrino ...

Last week in the journal Physical Review Letters, an international team of physicists published their preliminary results from an underground experiment designed to answer this fundamental question of ...

In an effort to solve this mystery, Fermilab is conducting a new, flagship experiment called the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, known as DUNE. Zeller is deputy director for part of the ...

OAK RIDGE, Tenn., March 26, 2018-- If equal amounts of matter and antimatter had formed in the Big Bang more than 13 billion years ago, one would have annihilated the other upon meeting, and today ...

Its implementation was completed in South Dakota in September 2016, nearly a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility. Siting the experiment under nearly a mile of rock was the ...

Underground neutrino experiment sets the stage for deep discovery about matter Date: March 26, 2018 Source: DOE/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Summary: Scientists have shown they can shield a ...
