NEUTRINOS in the North Hall: Leveraging T2’s Beam to Detect Neutrinos and Explore New Physics

One of the conclusions of the ESPPU 2013 process was that CERN should engage actively in the world accelerator based neutrino program. As a result, CERN joined, among others, the DUNE project and took a leading role in the construction of two…

SND@LHC Experiment: hunting for high-energy neutrinos and preparing for the HL run

Using the Large Hadron Collider as a neutrino source is the goal of the SND@LHC experiment. High-energy neutrinos, from a few hundred GeV to a few TeV, have never been studied. Moreover, neutrinos, particularly electron and tau species, in the SND…

ProtoDUNE: Paving the Way for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) at the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF) is a groundbreaking scientific initiative poised to elucidate the mysteries of neutrinos. Its progress has been marked by remarkable feats of engineering…

Charting the Future of Neutrino Experiments

The development of next-generation neutrino experiments is underway at CERN, which will shed light on the nature of these elusive particles. While the development of far and near detectors is advancing well, novel identification techniques for…

Discover how CERN's innovative cryostat technology is advancing neutrino physics

As stated in the 2020 Update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics, the existence of non-zero neutrino masses is a compelling sign of new physics. The worldwide neutrino physics program explores the full scope of the rich neutrino sector and…

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,…

LLP11: The eleventh workshop of the Long-Lived Particle Community

Amidst the excitement of preparations for the impending Run 3 of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), as well as prominent developments of key projects around the globe, the eleventh workshop of the Long-Lived Particle (LLP) Community initiative (LLP11…

DUNE prototype activities at the Neutrino Platform

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), now under construction, is a long baseline neutrino experiment with a near detector at Fermilab and far detector at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota to observe neutrinos…

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…

The 3D printed Detector (3DET) Project

Plastic scintillator is one of the most used active materials in high-energy physics. The “3D printed Detectors” (3DET) collaboration was formed in 2019 with the goal of investigating and developing additive manufacturing as a new production…
