Massive neutrino detector moved into place

The 30-ton MicroBooNE detector, the cornerstone of Fermilab's short-baseline neutrino program, will see neutrinos this year. On Monday, the next phase of neutrino physics at Fermilab fell (gently) into place. The MicroBooNE detector—a 30-ton, 40-foot-long cylindrical metal tank designed to detect ghostly particles called neutrinos—was carefully transported by truck across the US Department of Energy’s Fermilab site, from the warehouse building it was constructed in to the experimental hall...
