Quantum sensors and quantum computers may benefit from a reduction in cosmic-ray muons offered in places like the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, SD.
Two student engineering teams at SDSU spent their senior year on capstone design projects at SURF. One team built a new mine rail cart for hauling liquid nitrogen underground. The other built a drone for inspecting hard to reach vertical shafts.
Rigging crews at SURF are doing a series of tests on a large wooden model L-beam in anticipation of lowering the real thing down the shaft to the 4850L.
Excavation workers have finished carving out the future home of the gigantic particle detectors for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
Learn how the Majorana Demonstrator experiment could help us understand the imbalance of matter and antimatter in the universe—and tell us why we exist at all.
