As the massive 95-metric ton coldbox completed its cross-ocean journey, the crowd at Fermilab braving frigid winter temperatures last week could imagine what the particle accelerator being chilled to ...
The prototype of a novel particle detection system for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment successfully recorded its first accelerator neutrinos. In a major step for the ...
For three decades, a riddle has followed neutrinos, the near-weightless particles that stream through Earth by the trillions each second. They change identities as they fly, shifting among three known ...
Display of a candidate muon neutrino interaction observed by the Short-Baseline Near Detector. When a neutrino enters SBND and interacts with an argon nucleus, it creates a spray of charged particles ...
Two baby bison were born on Monday to the herd at Fermilab in Batavia, officials with the lab said. “One of the most exciting moments is when a calf takes its first steps,” Cleo Garcia, Fermilab’s ...
