In the May symmetry, in an article titled, “LBNE: the inside buzz on a new science project,” Amelia Williamson Smith reports that planning and designing the $900 million Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment takes more than a village. It takes a hive’s worth of scientists, engineers, technicians, accountants, and other specialists of every stripe.
She says, “A look behind the scenes of Fermilab’s Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment reveals a colony of scientists, engineers, and project specialists, from across the United States and around the world, abuzz with the work of creating what they hope will become the world’s most advanced neutrino experiment. Each member of the 300-person team for this $900 million undertaking has a specific set of tasks. An intricate system of organization and communication meshes their efforts together to achieve each stage of the project’s development—from initial approval to construction, operation, and scientific discovery.”
