What is the DUNE project?

An International Experiment for Neutrino Science The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a leading-edge, international experiment for neutrino science and proton decay studies.

What is the goal of DUNE?

‘Dune’ focuses on the Atreides family as they try to survive on a new hostile planet. The Atreides family are the rulers of the ocean planet Caladan, and “Dune” begins with patriarch Duke Leto (Isaac) receiving an assignment from the Emperor to relocate to Arrakis — a dangerous desert planet.

What can a neutrino tell us?

Neutrinos could help us identify other forces in the universe that we have not yet been able to detect or understand. They can teach us about the core of the densest stars, and could one day lead to the discovery of new astrophysical objects.

Do right handed neutrinos exist?

Such is the case for charged leptons, like the electron, but within the standard model the right-handed neutrino does not exist.

What is done at Fermilab?

We work on the world’s most advanced particle accelerators and dig down to the smallest building blocks of matter. We also probe the farthest reaches of the universe, seeking out the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Fermilab’s 1,750 employees include scientists and engineers from all around the world.

Why is Dune so hyped?

The upcoming Dune release has received plenty of hype. The perfect storm of COVID-induced delays, an all-star cast, and a cult-classic story getting the blockbuster treatment has made this film one of the most highly-anticipated cinema releases of 2021.

Is there anything smaller than a neutrino?

We have something called the standard model of physics, which is a list of things that are not made of anything else – in other words, the smallest things we know of. That list includes quarks, gluons, electrons and neutrinos. Then there are the forces that join those things up: light is one of them.

Is neutrino God particle?

Early October, a 96-year old New Yorker of East European descendence passed away in a small northwest town. To those who don’t know, he seems to be just a regular resident of a senior home. Except he’s not.
