Physics major Erin Conley has been awarded a Jack and June Richardson scholarship. The prestigious Richard scholarships recognize students with the potential for a significant future contribution and strong relationships with faculty mentors – specifically they are “to provide scholarship assistance to two or more of the very best full-time undergraduate students who are in the University …

First, there was LBNE, then ELBNF, and now the world’s most ambitious neutrino experiment/collaboration has converged on a long-term identity the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE). Last week the collaboration voted to elect co-spokespeople and Mark Thomson (Cambridge) and Andre Rubia (Zurich) were elected. A great deal of work lies ahead for both the co-spokespeople …

In late January the collaboration formerly as LBNE (Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment) was dissolved and reformed as ELBNF (Experiment at the Long-Baseline Neutrino Factory). While the name of the new collaboration is no more creative than the former, a new naming competition is under way. The new collaboration is comprised of 146 institutions from 23 …

In February, 2015, CSU was admitted into the NOvA Collaboration. The NOvA experiment is Fermilab’s current flagship long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment utilizing an intense beam of muon-neutrinos produced at Fermilab. The neutrinos are directed at the 14 kton liquid-scintillator-based far detector located 810 km away in northern Minnesota (Ash River) after passing through the 300 …
