Nuclear Physics Meets Neutrinos

Neutrino beams, such as those currently operating at Fermilab in the USA and J-PARC in Japan, are typically produced by colliding high-energy proton beams with long, thin solid targets. These collisions result in a spray of particles including…

Baby MIND prepares for first physics run with WAGASCI at T2K

Extracting ever more precise information from long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments calls for a better understanding of neutrino production and neutrino interactions with their target detectors, through experimental programmes dedicated to…

Data acquisition challenges for the ProtoDUNE-SP experiment at CERN

The ProtoDUNE Single-Phase (SP) experiment at the Neutrino Platform at CERN (read more) is taking data after about two years of construction and commissioning. Its primary goal is to validate the design principles, construction procedures, detector…

PHYSTAT-nu 2019 held at CERN

Statistics is a topic that has gained increasing importance and underwent significant developments in particle physics over the past 25 years. More sophisticated methods have been developed to extract the maximum of information from the recorded…

ProtoDUNE sees first particle tracks

Introduction The CERN Neutrino Platform was installed in 2014 following the recommendation of the European Strategy Group for CERN to engage in the worldwide experimental neutrino program. The platform engaged from the start in the future Deep…

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…

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…
