On Friday, April 20, DOE Office of Science Deputy Director Stephen Binkley visited Fermilab.
On his half-day tour of the lab, Fermilab experts discussed with Binkley Fermilab’s flagship experiment, LBNF/DUNE; the Mu2e experiment; Proton Improvement Plan II; the lab’s participation in the Large Hadron Collider and its CMS experiment; the lab’s contributions to SLAC’s LCLS-II accelerator; Fermilab’s forefront accelerator science programs; R&D work in superconducting radio-frequency accelerator technology; and the lab’s quantum initiatives.
Binkley visited ROC East and ROC West; the Fermilab Quantum Network teleportation experiment; the facility where Fermilab is building cryomodules for LCLS-II; SRF facilities; the magnet test area for Mu2e; and the Fermilab Accelerator Science and Technology Facility.
