Fermilab's search for sterile neutrinos

Fermilab has long been one of the world's preeminent centers of accelerator-based neutrino research. In this video, Dr. Don explains the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program and what it hopes to find. Besides searching for an elusive theoretical particle called the sterile neutrino, SBN is also developing technologies and personnel to ensure that Fermilab plays a leadership role in neutrino research for the next several decades.

I really appreciate you taking the time out of your life to produce these for us

[redbaronsnoopy]

As usual, Dr. Lincoln and Fermilab, brilliant update and maintaining the excitement for pure science & research. Thanks to you all. Looking forward to more.

[milesmcquillen]

The most important thing is, we need a petition to bring back the Dr. Don 'stache.

Grew up 2 blocks from the main entrance of Fermi and always had fun going around the property during my childhood. Was good friends with Dr. Kolb's family for a time as well. Fermi is really the only thing I miss about Illinois.

[chiseldrock]

all the best in the new year to the whole FERMILAB team. To infinity and beyond!

[gregl]

Please keep on producing these outstanding videos. They are without a doubt, among the best science-related videos on YouTube.

[MilosevicOgnjan]

As always, fascinating.... It would be great to have one video about the potential practical applicaitions of such future discoveries that will be made in Fermilab.

My first thought was; who is going round sterilising all of these poor neutrinos and what have they ever done to us? Second thought was; what a bad joke that was but at least I got to see another fancinating video by Dr. Lincon and what fermilab are planning. I look forward to see what is learned. Possibly in a later vid? I could listed to Dr. Lincon for hours and thanks to this channel I have :)

[draven]

Good start to 2024 Dr. Lincoln. Eagerly await further updates.

[sapelesteve]

The SBN program sounds amazing Dr. Don! Happy New Year to you & the entire Fermilab team! I am looking forward to what you have in store for us in 2024! 👍👍💥💥

[blancaestela]

Gracias por compartir tan importantes datos. Felicidades a todo el equipo de Fermilab🎉

[Ihab.A]

Dr. Lincoln I love your videos and I am watching your invaluable courses on Wondrium which I love!

[shazmunchdylbertoid]

oh wow! I've been so curious about sterile neutrinos lately, this is well timed

[brothermine]

2:49 reminds me of a quote about Isis near the end of the "Assignment: Earth" episode of Star Trek: "That, Miss Lincoln, is simply my cat."

[TheyCallMeNewb]

.. What a show (as well as opening and closing cards)!

[samwisegamgee]

Whoa! Doesn't another type of Neutrino muck up the nice symmetric grid in the Standard Model?

[LeoStaley]

Question about black holes. I've learned from you and several other physicist explainers on YouTube that an outside observer watching an object fall into a black hole sees it slow down slower and slower approaching the Event Horizon, but never actually fall past the EH. The object falls past the EH normally to itself, but watches all of time pass outside the EH. So how can a black hole grow, from an external perspective, if nothing can ever actually fall into it? And how can an object watch all time pass by as it crosses the EH, if all black holes eventually evaporate in a finite amount of time?

[Nightscape_]

It's got be so awesome to work at Fermilab.

[davebright]

The beam in the video appears to curve around. How do you steer neutrinos? I thought that due to their low interaction properties they would have to travel from their creation and through both detectors in a straight line

[FrancisFjordCupola]

I think of FermiLab as CERNino. Or the smaller non-hadron collider. But I do hope they can learn a lot more about neutrino's.
