Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Detector Makes First Neutrino Detection
Scientists working on the device have recognized the first neutrino interactions detected by the Short-Baseline Near Detector (SBND) at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The SBND partnership has been designing, developing, and building the detector for almost ten years. Following several months of cautiously activating every detector subsystem, the much-anticipated moment finally arrived. According to David…
