Modeling flow of argon through ProtoDUNE detectors
Two South Dakota State University mechanical engineering professors are using CFD modeling to predict how argon circulates within particle detectors to be constructed one mile beneath the earth’s surface.
Ultra-high energy events key to study of ghost particles
Physicists at Washington University in St. Louis have proposed a way to use data from ultra-high energy neutrinos to study interactions beyond the standard model of particle physics. The ‘Zee burst’ model leverages new data from large neutrino telescopes such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory in Antarctica and its future extensions.
