Mark Ross-Lonergan has been elected co-spokesperson for MicroBooNE — a major neutrino experiment at Fermilab and an essential part of the lab’s neutrino research program.

MicroBooNE was the first large-scale detector of its kind to compile an extensive record of neutrino interactions on a neutrino beamline, advancing scientists’ understanding of how the liquid-argon technology performs at scale.

While MicroBoone has wrapped up the data-collecting phase, the collaboration continues to conduct analysis. And Ross-Lonergan is optimistic about what’s ahead for the collaboration.

We're keeping our eyes peeled for elusive particles. 👀

At Fermilab, teams are testing custom computer chips that will eventually read out signals from the massive DUNE far detector.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is an international effort to uncover the physics of neutrinos — some of the most mysterious particles in the universe. To study how neutrinos change as they travel, DUNE will use two detectors: a near detector at Fermilab in Illinois, and a much larger far detector located 800 miles away at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota.

When complete, the DUNE far detector will be the largest and most technologically advanced liquid‑argon neutrino detector ever built, more than 20 times larger than existing detectors of this kind. The chips being tested today will play a key role in capturing the rare signals produced when neutrinos interact deep underground.
