Through the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), a particle detector nearly 1 mile below the surface in the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota, will capture images of neutrinos beamed 800 miles through the Earth from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory’s neutrino-producing facility in Illinois. South Dakota State researchers are part of a team of 1,000 scientists and engineers from more than 160 institutions in 30 countries working on the international particle physics project.
