Dune Scientists Observe First Neutrinos with Prototype Detector at Fermilab

Over at Fermilab, teams of physicists and engineers are making waves in the realm of neutrino research with the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), a groundbreaking project set to shake up the world of particle detection. Thanks to the innovative LArPix technology developed by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), capturing neutrino events in true 3D has become a reality. The revolutionary 2×2 prototype detector has recently recorded the first accelerator-produced neutrinos, setting the stage for an unprecedented era of high-fidelity neutrino imaging. With more than 337,000 individual charge-sensitive pixels working their magic, the 2×2 prototype promises to deliver a level of precision and detail never before seen in neutrino detection.
