ICARUS Neutrino Detector Installation at Fermilab

[@nagualdesign]

And once the installation was complete, the Raspberry Pi boards could easily be retrieved by using bit of coat hang wire duct taped to a broom handle.

[@muskyelondragon]

It's good to see Fermilab still on the cutting edge. I'm still sad about the SSC 😞

[@lawrencetate145]

Human politics is a nasty business. Science suffers from it, even today.

[@sokolum]

Inches.... time to move onto the metric system.

[@cortster12]

They do while actually working. They say inches because most of their audience uses inches. Obviously.

[@LunardelliAlessio]

Bose-Einstein this is your personal opinion or show me the data. I'm from Europe, huge fan of fermilab, but when I hear about Inches, Noses, Apples, i'm confused. We are supposed to use SI, that's it. This is not a personal opinion.

[@t.r.d.z.1630]

I just took a private tour of fermi and it was incredible

[@brianhorne820]

I will never understand why anyone names anything they want to succeed "Icarus."

[@RME76048]

Because they're in the business to sell feathers and wax?

[@isabelhughes8748]

I had an idea. Space radiation could be used as an encryption key. The sending computer and receiving computer could both gather data by an agreed upon space time coordinate and use the electromagnetic wave spectrum as the encryption key. No handshake of encryption keys and as long as the agreed upon times are not compromised you would have one of the most secure encryption's.

[@AtlasReburdened]

Yeah, that will work if the two detectors can simply occupy the exact same point in space, otherwise they'll record different data and make different keys.

[@Locut0s]

Oh cool they are going to use this to study the possibility of sterile neutrinos! Exciting given that recent research shows they might exist!

[@quahntasy]

SO cool to actually see it. Wish I was there.

[@toniturnwald9890]

Hello, I wish you and your Team good luck at the start-up. cu Toni

[@RME76048]

Awesome. Neutrino detector repurposing/reuse, transportation, and My Hat's Off to the able crew that accurately placed it where it needed to be. That, my friends, is great involvement and dedication at every turn and every angle for what is required to study our Universe and profit from the knowledge gained. Everybody wins.

[@Chris-bm5qd]

What a great person to interview. All the world must be fascinated with the slings and the cranes and the feet they need to put the box on.

[@raykent3211]

Frank L do I detect a note of sarcasm? Those feet stick down by about 6 to 8 inches. And they're measuring the speed in furlongs per lunar month, not easy!

[@lawrencetate145]

What aspects of ICARUS require the precise positioning?

[@zarrowthehorse]

I'd love to work here but have no idea what I'd do

[@Joemama555]

fermilab loves those optical position sensors...

[@vcool]

Tell us more about how the r-pi sensor works.

[@Jadinandrews]

It's a camera?

[@anullhandle]

ThreeCube , motioneyes os would be the easiest way to get 4 cameras on one screen.

[@vcool]

Jadin Andrews Is it now? If I give you only a camera, does that become a sensor? It doesn't. It takes appropriate software and that's partially what I'm asking about. I want all the specifics.

[@Ni999]

You guys do a great job!

[@tabaks]

That’s a respectable herd of supervisors!

[@LunardelliAlessio]

Inches LOL, how about using apples as unit of measurement ? I kind like also "bottle of beers" for length and christmas dinner as measure for pressure.

[@zarrowthehorse]

I'm late, but they were only using that to help the audience (who likely use inches) understand better

[@geoffrygifari4179]

but what's in the neutrino detector?

[@vast634]

cats

[@windigo000]

These are called Liquid Argon Time Projection Chambers (LAr-TPC). hope it helps ;)

[@AtlasReburdened]

Schrödinger's, to be specific. Very expensive.

[@SFKelvin]

neutrinos, hopefully...and the 7th cylon.

[@RME76048]

Cap'n Crunch. Go back to bed, sleepy head....

[@PhysicsPolice]

How many workers in hardhats does it take to screw in a neutrino detector? Looks like about 20!

[@RME76048]

How many Richard Noggins does it take to post a stoopid comment: one.

[@davidamoritz]

It's Time to Science ☺

[@VanBurenOfficial]

Very nice, i watched it twice, while eating rice

[@RME76048]

Basmati?

[@RongChik]

Nice!

[@windigo000]

still at imperial units i see. it's time to get recent guys. do you have anything against SI or is it just force of habit? :D btw. great work. let's measure some neutrinos ;)

[@Subut]

New science yay

[@KODNAMEKILLA]

Good Job guys! Thank you for all your hard work!

[@jesusmark3872]

Don > Neil

[@samsharma8621]

😍😍😍😘

[@kumaresanboopalan9418]

Congrats team...Hard works give results ...But we accept ZERO...

[@jacekpiterow900]

European handy-downs... Better then nothing.

[@nagualdesign]

_*Hand-me-downs._

[@AresErrantKnight]

Building detectors doesn't come cheap. Reusing detectors across experiments is common practice and goes both ways.
