Fermilab experiment to beam neutrinos through Dairyland In an effort to pin down the elusive nature and qualities of one of nature's most intriguing subatomic particles - the neutrino - scientists at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, in Illinois will soon send a beam of the ghostlike particles coursing through subterranean Wisconsin to a detector deep in a mine in northern Minnesota. The goal of the $170 million project is to help scientists gain some accurate measurements of a particle that has practically no heft.
