As it evolves, the SLAC linear accelerator illustrates some important technologies from the history of accelerator science.
Blucher has dedicated most of his career to one of DUNE’s major science goals, and he’s excited by the scale of this experiment and its potential for a breakthrough.
New research could tell us about particle interactions in the early universe and even hint at new physics.
From Physics World, March 7, 2017: This episode of the Physics World podcast describes a virtual reality tour of the MicroBooNE detector at Fermilab.
In recognition of International Women’s Day, March 8, we present a photo gallery of Fermilab women.
From Science, March 6, 2017: For more than a decade, multiple experiments have found an unexpected excess in the number of high-energy antielectrons, or positrons, in space. A team led by Fermilab’s Dan Hooper has shown that pulsars, not dark matter annihilation, can indeed produce most or all of the excess.
How do you transport 70,000 tons of liquid argon nearly a mile underground?
From Gizmodo, March 6, 2017: A new children’s book from the folks at Fermilab and SLAC takes a child (or maybe just an interested adult) along an adorably dorky rhyme-trip through some of the most important high-energy physics concepts.
From the Chicago Tribune, Feb. 28, 2017: Lindsay Olson, Fermilab’s first artist-in-residence, will display several pieces reflecting her work at Fermilab during her upcoming exhibition The Elegant Universe: Art and Science, beginning on March 7 at Elmhurst College.
