ENUBET: a beam for the precision era of neutrino physics

Even if neutrino oscillations were discovered more than 20 years ago, our knowledge of mixing, flavor oscillation and CP violation in the neutrino sector is still far from the precision achieved for quarks. CP violation in the quark sector was…

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…

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…

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 mission is…

Neutrinos: the hunt continues at 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…

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…

Baby MIND born at 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,…

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-…

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.…
