Experimental Neutrino Physics

Congratulations to Greg Pulliam, who defended his Ph.D. dissertation yesterday.   Greg presented his  thesis topic, “pi+ Cross Section on Liquid Argon for the LArIAT Experiment”.  It was very impressive to see how he helped build and operate the experiment,  and complete a fully-developed analysis, all within his graduate school years.  Kudos!

The folks at Yale Wright Laboratory have made a professional version of the SBND APA wiring time-lapse videos.  Check it out!

The long journey of the U.S.-made SBND APAs reaches a milestone.  Delivery of both APAs to Fermilab (along with the field-cage modules made by our Yale colleagues).  Now TPC construction can proceed full-speed ahead.  See some photos of the truck arriving, and Pip and company supervising the unloading.

 

Check out the Syracuse University homepage, which currently features Pip and Avinay in action working on the SBND APAs!  There is an accompanying story about this project.  Since the page will eventually move on to something else, here’s a screenshot  to capture the moment.  Happy New Year!
