Hunting for the universe's most mysterious particles at Fermilab
In short: Step inside one of the world's largest detectors to see how scientists are probing the boundaries of known physics. This video explores how the ICARUS experiment captures elusive neutrinos to uncover secrets hidden beyond our current understanding of the universe.
The ICARUS collaboration is marking five years of continuous data collection at Fermilab, focusing on the study of neutrinos. By analyzing these particles, researchers aim to identify physics that exists beyond the Standard Model—the current framework describing how the universe works.
The experiment serves as a critical component of the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program. The insights gained here are intended to inform and shape the design of future large-scale projects, specifically the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
