DUNE Prototype Detects First Neutrinos, Validating Innovative Technology

Breakthrough at Fermilab marks significant progress toward understanding fundamental cosmic mysteries.

• The 2×2 prototype detector successfully recorded its first neutrinos at Fermilab.
• This milestone demonstrates the potential of the LArPix technology for 3D neutrino imaging.
• DUNE aims to explore the origins of matter and study neutrino oscillations and CP violation.
• The experiment involves sending neutrino beams from Fermilab to detectors in South Dakota.
• Over 1,400 scientists from more than 200 institutions are part of the DUNE collaboration.
