From SLAC, Jan. 31, 2017: A full kilometer of SLAC’s historic linac has been stripped of all its equipment. Over the next two years it will be re-equipped with new technology to power an X-ray laser, LCLS-II. Fermilab and Jefferson Lab are building the cryomodules for its superconducting portion.
Nearly 200 local luminaries came to Fermilab to hear from laboratory leadership and, at 2017’s first Arts and Lecture Series talk, from scientist Chris Quigg about Fermilab’s greatest hits.
A result from the LHCb experiment shows what could be the first evidence of matter and antimatter baryons behaving differently.
Fermilab’s Family Open House is a chance for the whole family to spend an afternoon learning about science in a hands-on way and have fun doing it. This year’s event will mark Fermilab’s 50th anniversary with a new show and several activities for kids and their parents to enjoy.
From the Naperville Sun, Jan. 26, 2017: A gravity collider, gravity accelerator, shape shooter, ramps and curves machine, and a mini linear accelerator were on loan to Graham Elementary School three days this week from Fermilab.
Since its inception in 1980 by then-Fermilab Director Leon Lederman, Saturday Morning Physics has been one of the most popular outreach initiatives at Fermilab.
Years of work upgrading the accelerator have made it possible to achieve the high beam power needed to produce neutrinos — the most elusive of nature’s known particles — by the truckload.
From the INSPIRE blog, Jan. 23, 2017: INSPIRE’s list of the 40 most highly cited papers during 2016 is out, and five are Fermilab papers. The number goes up if you include CMS papers. Have a look in this blog post by Fermilab’s Heath O’Connell and SLAC’s Michael Peskin.
Neutron stars have earned their share of superlatives since their discovery in 1967.
