Building an International Flagship Neutrino Experiment
An international team of over 1,000 scientists and engineers from more than 30 countries is building the most advanced neutrino experiment in the world, which could change our understanding of the universe. Groundbreaking for this revolutionary endeavor—hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermilab with contributions from across the U.S. and around the globe—took place in July of 2017. A large prototype detector successfully recorded data at the European research center CERN from 2018 to 2020.
