the experiment starts here at the Fermilab campus just outside of Illinois
- Role: setting
- In the video: The experiment starts at the Fermilab campus where the PIP II accelerator will fire protons into a target to make a neutrino beam angled down through a grassy mound. A near detector sits about 600 m away, and the beam travels 1,286 km to South Dakota.
- Why it matters: It is the source end of the neutrino beam and the home of the project’s brain trust.
