The CRPs...

This innovative device, developed by three Brazilian universities and Fermilab and named for the Guaraní word for bird trap, will collect very low light signals coming from the DUNE detectors… Stefan Söldner-Rembold receives 2018 James Chadwick Medal and Prize August 7, 2018 Professor Stefan Söldner-Rembold of the University of Manchester for his contributions to pioneering experimental work in high-energy particle physics and his international leadership in Higgs and neutrino physics… In the international press Why is the universe full of matter? UT-Arlington physicist helps global team get closer to an answer (Dallas News, 3 Aug 2018) LBNF/DUNE global participation: Marzio Nessi, CERN (2 Aug 2018) Hyabusa mission; ProtoDUNE neutrino detector; Caledonian crow skills; Koala microbiome (BBC Radio 4, 28 June 2018) ProtoDUNE segment begins at 7:10. At your fingertips The latest Faces of DUNE August 7, 2018 Read about your colleagues! New “Faces of DUNE” appear on DUNE’s Twitter and Facebook pages every week. Pictures of ProtoDUNE Progress August 7, 2018 Dominique Duchesneau (LAPP) and Sarah Charley (CERN) share some pictures from ProtoDUNE. News and updates Calibration techniques honed and ready for test beam data August 7, 2018 | Garrett Robinson Ajib Paudel and Glenn Horton-Smith, both of Kansas State University, and Tingjun Yang of Fermilab are practicing calibration techniques on ProtoDUNE-SP to get ready for the DUNE far detector. The group is running MC data samples of cosmic ray muon tracks through an analysis to correct for nonuniformities in the detector volume… DUNE completes Interim Design Report August 7, 2018 | Kurt Riesselmann The international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) achieved a milestone on July 29 when the collaboration released its 687-page Interim Design Report for the construction of gigantic particle detector modules a mile underground in South Dakota. The three-volume interim report, which was posted on the scientific online repository arXiv, summarizes the DUNE physics goals and the design of the detector to meet these goals… nus2SURF suspends publication August 7, 2018 | Anne Heavey Many thanks to all of you who provided very helpful feedback in responding to the survey. Due to the relatively low response rate (13%), however, coupled with higher demands over the next year on your editor’s time (as the TDR technical editor), nus2SURF will suspend publication for this period of time.
