The #PIP2coldbox is at the heart of the system that will keep @PIP2accelerator cold. PIP-II will will power a state-of-the-art high-energy neutrino beam on its 800-mile journey from Fermilab to the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment @LBNFacility.
@DUNEScience #FutureofFermilab
As the massive 95-metric ton coldbox completed its cross-Atlantic journey, the crowd at Fermilab braving frigid winter temperatures could imagine what the particle accelerator being chilled to -456 degrees Fahrenheit by the device must feel like. shawlocal.com/kane-county-ch…
