Excavation workers have finished carving out the future home of the gigantic particle detectors for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
The Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) has conducted the first underground blast in a major expansion of new research space nearly a mile below the surface.
SURF is seeking input from the global underground science community in a new outreach effort to ensure scientific priorities are being met and SURF is achieving its mission.
The expertise of hundreds of individuals employed in the former Homestake Mine who helped make SURF all that it is today are now passing on their knowledge to a new generation.
