“Background check! Screening materials for rare-event searches” livestream from the 4850 Level with Dr. Brianna Mount begins at 10 a.m. at the Sanford Lab Homestake Visitor Center.

When building super sensitive detectors, particle physicists require that materials be extremely radio-pure. As the director of the Black Hills State University Underground Campus (BHUC), Dr. Brianna Mount manages the assaying, or testing, of materials to be used for such experiments.

“DUNE: Piercing the secrets of neutrinos and the Universe” with Dr. Claire David begins at 2 p.m. at the Historic Homestake Opera House.

Particle physicists are very curious about neutrinos. And after Dr. Claire David’s talk, we think you will be, too!
