First particle tracks seen in prototype for international neutrino experiment
First particle tracks seen in prototype for international neutrino experiment The largest liquid-argon neutrino detector in the world has just recorded its first particle tracks, signaling the start of a new chapter in the story of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). DUNE’s scientific mission is dedicated to unlocking the mysteries of neutrinos, the

Neutrinos: the hunt continues at CERN
Neutrinos: the hunt continues at CERN BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/neutrinos-hunt-continues-cern) DsTau is a new project which has been proposed at the CERN SPS to study tau-neutrino (ντ ) production [1] with the aim of providing important data for future ντ measurements. Indications of possible lepton non-universality have been recently reported by

ProtoDUNE gets ready for first tests at CERN
ProtoDUNE gets ready for first tests at CERN Last year has been particularly busy in CERN’s EHN1 test facility in the north area of the Prévessin site, as work is ongoing for the construction of the two ProtoDUNE detectors. The two prototypes test different concepts of the future Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) detector, planned

Baby MIND born at CERN
Baby MIND born at CERN BROKEN IMAGE NOT MOVED (drupal url : https://ep-news.web.cern.ch//content/baby-mind-born-cern) Born from prototyping activities launched within the AIDA project, the Baby MIND aims to measure the momentum and identify the charge of muons that are the product of neutrino interactions in the WAGASCI detector at J-PARC. The WAGASCI detector, experiment T59, is

Bring on the DUNE detectors
Bring on the DUNE detectors DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) is an international experiment pushing the frontiers of neutrino science and proton decay in the next two decades. The experiment will use the world's most intense neutrino beam from Fermilab’s Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, a Near Detector to characterise the initial beam and study neutrino interactions

ICARUS flies to Fermilab
ICARUS flies to Fermilab The ICARUS T600 detectors are ready to start their journey to Fermilab. At the time of writing this note, the two detectors are parked at CERN, close to building 185 where 43 years ago neutral currents were discovered by the Gargamelle experiment. During the last two years, in a large clean

EP department announces new neutrino group
EP department announces new neutrino group To meet the challenges of the neutrino programme at CERN, the EP department recently announced the establishment of a neutrino group in the department. The group will act as a focal point for the activities of the accelerator-based experimental neutrino community in Europe and world-wide, and will work in

CERN’s strategy for neutrino physics
CERN's strategy for neutrino physics The understanding of the neutrino sector is a worldwide priority promising physics beyond the Standard Model in a unified theoretical framework that goes from the electroweak scale to the highest energy scales. Following the Higgs boson discovery, massive neutrinos are now firmly set at the frontier of knowledge in particle

Neutrino properties from cosmology
Neutrino properties from cosmology Cosmology has entered the precision era: we now have a standard model for cosmology where the content, history and evolution of the Universe are described by few parameters. These parameters are constrained by observations at the percent level or better. As for particle physics and the search for beyond the standard
