First Neutrinos Detected At Fermilab Short-Baseline Detector


Scientists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have observed the first neutrino interactions in the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND), marking a significant milestone in their efforts to explore neutrino oscillations and search for a potential fourth neutrino flavor that could challenge the S...

Phys.org reports: SBND is the final element that completes Fermilab's Short-Baseline Neutrino (SBN) Program and will play a critical role in solving a decades-old mystery in particle physics. A third detector called MicroBooNE finished recording particle collisions with the same neutrino beamline that same year. So, where previous experiments had to make assumptions about the original composition of the neutrino beam, the SBN Program will definitively know.
