Fermilab begins assembling DUNE neutrino detector deep in South Dakota mine
Original: Fermilab begins assembling 1.6 km-deep mega neutrino detector DUNE in US mine
Fermilab has started assembling the DUNE detector, a massive neutrino experiment being built roughly 1.6 kilometres underground in a former gold mine in South Dakota. The detector's huge modules will sit at the bottom of the shaft to study neutrino behaviour. The project, part of an international effort involving CERN and partner institutions, is a milestone for particle physics research in the United States.
Why now: Assembly of a major underground particle detector is a visible milestone in a long-running international physics project.
