Particle physicists and astrophysicists employ a variety of tools to avoid erroneous results.

From Live Science, Sept. 18, 2018: On the occasion of the ProtoDUNE detector seeing its first signals, Fermilab’s Don Lincoln lays out the research goals of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

From Brookhaven, Sept. 18, 2018: The enormous ProtoDUNE detector – the size of a three-story house and the shape of a gigantic cube – was built at CERN as the first of two prototypes for what will be a much, much larger detector for the DUNE project, hosted by Fermilab.

A number of NSF awards to the centers will help lead to degree completion for minority students traditionally underrepresented in the STEM marketplace.

Quantum science is expected to lay the foundation for the next generation of computing and information processing as well as an array of other innovative technologies.

Through its Quantum Information Science-Enabled Discovery program, DOE is awarding Fermilab researchers funding for five quantum-science initiatives. It also funds Fermilab’s participation in three further initiatives led by other institutions.

From STFC, Sept. 18, 2018: The enormous ProtoDUNE detector is the largest liquid-argon neutrino detector in the world. The size of a three-story house and the shape of a gigantic cube it has just recorded its first particle tracks signaling the start of a new chapter in the story of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

From Gizmodo, Sept. 11, 2018: The Large Hadron Collider started up in 2008, and in 2012, LHC scientists announced the discovery of the Higgs boson. Here’s what else is happening at the famous collider. Recent CMS spokesperson and Fermilab scientist Joel Butler comments.

From Crain’s Chicago Business, Sept. 20, 2018: University of Chicago Professor David Awschalom says that accelerating quantum research is critical for Chicago, which is uniquely positioned to help lead the nation, thanks to its University of Chicago, Argonne National Laboratory and Fermilab. The decisions the U.S. makes now will determine the role it plays in a technology that could deliver a generational leap forward if we are bold enough to seize the opportunity.

SuperCDMS physicists are testing a way to amp up dark matter vibrations to help them search for lighter particles.
