DUNE and T2K gear up for next stage
DUNE and T2K gear up for next stage In the middle of the LHC ring, at the CERN Prevessin site, lies an experimental facility dedicated to particles that are but missing momentum to the four major LHC experiments. The Neutrino Platform, built as an extension of the SPS test beam area, hosts the R&D activities

Gearing up preparations for the T2K-II phase
Gearing up preparations for the T2K-II phase The upgrade of the near detector of the T2K experiment became in April 2019 an official CERN Neutrino Platform experiment (NP07). As a consequence an increased detector assembly activity has been started at CERN over the last months. This will continue until summer 2022 before the installation of

Using 3D printing techniques for future neutrino detectors
Using 3D printing techniques for future neutrino detectors Plastic scintillator is one of the most used active materials in high-energy physics. A charged particle crossing a plastic scintillator loses part of its initial energy and produces a quantity of scintillation light that depends on its energy and type. This property allows using this technology for

Physics from neutrino near detectors: opening a new window for BSM searches
Physics from neutrino near detectors: opening a new window for BSM searches With the advent of a new generation of neutrino experiments which leverage high-intensity neutrino beams for precision measurements, it is timely to explore the opportunity that these experiments offer for searches of beyond the standard model (BSM) physics. The realm of BSM physics

Interview with Stefan Söldner-Rembold, DUNE’s Co-spokesperson
Interview with Stefan Söldner-Rembold, DUNE's Co-spokesperson Stefan Söldner-Rembold, has been recently elected co-spokesperson of the DUNE collaboration. In his long-standing career he worked both in accelerator and non-accelerator experiments addressing some of the most fundamental questions about matter and the structure of our universe. The same type of questions that motivated him as a student

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

BabyMIND records first muon tracks
BabyMIND records first muon tracks Assembled as part of project NP05 at the CERN Neutrino Platform, the Baby MIND muon spectrometer has been recording its first muon tracks from neutrino interactions at J-PARC since 10th March. Baby MIND is designed to determine the momentum and charge of muons that are the product of neutrino interactions

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
