The 50-foot-wide superconducting electromagnet at the center of the experiment saw its first beam of muon particles from Fermilab’s accelerators, kicking off a three-year effort to measure just what happens to those particles when placed in a stunningly precise magnetic field. The answer could rewrite scientists’ picture of the universe and how it works.
How did the proton, photon and other particles get their names?
The Heavy Photon Search at Jefferson Lab is looking for a hypothetical particle from a hidden “dark sector.”
We’re turning 50! There are several ways to celebrate with Fermilab on June 15 – and prizes for a few lucky participants.

Technicians from CERN and INFN recently converged at Fermilab to help prepare the ICARUS detector’s future home.
How many times must one iterate on a magnet-spool design? Until Dr. Wilson is happy.
From CERN Courier, May 19, 2017: Former Fermilab archivist and historian Adrienne Kolb recounts how, 50 years ago, U.S. physicists established a new laboratory and with it a new approach to carrying out frontier research in high-energy physics.
MINERvA measures the energy a neutrino imparts to protons and neutrons inside a heavy nucleus.
