Virtual Ask a Scientist: DUNE, the next-generation neutrino catcher
Jan. 9, 2021
Fermilab
Despite being everywhere, neutrinos are incredibly challenging to catch; we need to produce large numbers of them and place giant detectors with unprecedented technologies in their paths. The next-generation Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, DUNE will do just that. Join Fermilab Neutrino physicist, Tanaz Mohayai, to learn more about DUNE.
National Laboratories
We manage one of the world’s most preeminent research networks. From historic experiments in nuclear energy, developmental biology, and particle physics to today’s challenges of renewable power, dark matter, and microbial ecology, these institutions have long been at the vanguard of discovery.
