The planned Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) (CERN Courier December 2015 p19) will require 70,000 tonnes of liquid argon, making it the largest experiment of its kind – 100 ...
In the early morning of 3 December, scientists and engineers started the installation of KM3NeT (CERN Courier July/August 2012 p31). Once completed, it will be the largest detector of neutrinos i...
The go-ahead to prepare a Comprehensive Design Report is received.
MicroBooNE, an experiment designed to measure neutrinos and antineutrinos generated by Fermilab’s Booster accelerator (CERN Courier September 2014 p8), has recorded its first neutrino events. Mi...
The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a next-generation long-baseline neutrino-oscillation experiment, currently under review by the US Department of Energy (DOE). DUNE has a potentially ...
In July, the Borexino collaboration reported a geoneutrino signal from the Earth’s mantle with 98% C.L. Geoneutrinos are electron antineutrinos produced by β decays of 238U and 232Th c...
The Daya Bay Reactor Neutrino Experiment has recently published a new measurement of the disappearance of electron antineutrinos emitted by nuclear reactors. The observation improves the precision of ...
Developed in the late 1990s, the OPERA detector design was based on a hybrid technology, using both real-time detectors and nuclear emulsions. The construction of the detector at the Gran Sasso...
This is an event view of the highest energy neutrino detected so far by the IceCube experiment based at the South Pole (CERN Courier December 2014 p30). Each sphere is one optical sensor; the coloured...
