The University of Minnesota Duluth particle physics group of Gran and Habig is participating in Fermilab experiments MINOS+, MINERvA and NOvA, that are addressing questions of the neutrino mass hierarchy, improved measurements of the neutrino mass-squared difference and mixing parameters, improved measurements of neutrino cross sections and studying astrophysical neutrino sources. The University, an RUI institution, is strategically located close to the NOvA and MINOS detectors which are located in northern Minnesota. This affords UMD students an excellent opportunity to participate effectively in the research program. The broader impacts aspects of the program are extensive, as the group provides leadership for the education and outreach program of the Soudan Underground Laboratory in which the MINOS detector is located. This program engages teachers, students and the public in the northern Minnesota region in the excitement of forefront research.

明尼苏达大学德卢斯分校 Gran 和 Habig 粒子物理小组正在参与费米实验室 MINOS+、MINERvA 和 NOvA 实验，这些实验正在解决中微子质量等级问题，改进中微子质量平方差和混合参数的测量，改进中微子的测量横截面和研究天体物理中微子源。该大学是 RUI 的一所机构，地理位置优越，靠近位于明尼苏达州北部的 NOvA 和 MINOS 探测器。 这为马里兰大学学生提供了有效参与研究项目的绝佳机会。 该计划的更广泛影响方面是广泛的，因为该小组为 MINOS 探测器所在的苏丹地下实验室的教育和外展计划提供领导。 该项目让明尼苏达州北部地区的教师、学生和公众参与到令人兴奋的前沿研究中。
