Neutrino Detector to Solve Universe's Mysteries

This is a cryostat for the ProtoDUNE II neutrino detector test bed located at the CERN nuclear research center on the France-Switzerland border. It is the precursor to the DUNE (Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment) detector. This prototype and the DUNE detector now under construction in the United States benefit from the experience gained from the design, construction, and operation of facilities such as the Large Hadron Collider (also at CERN). The DUNE neutrino generator located at Fermilab, in Illinois, will emit a beam made up of trillions of neutrinos. The so-called far detector, located 1,300 kilometers away at the Sanford Underground Research Facility, in South Dakota, will observe how the particles react.
