In their quest to discover physics beyond the Standard Model, physicists weigh the pros and cons of different search strategies.
From Labmate, May 4, 2019: Researchers at the UK’s Scientific Technology Facilities Council are collaborating with Malaysian academics on projects that will both develop scientific capabilities and the research potential of Malaysian science in helping to discover new answers to some major scientific challenges. The projects include the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
From Machine Design, May 6, 2019: Fermilab scientists use quantum computing to simulate a family of particles that, until recently, has been relatively neglected in quantum simulations.
From Kane County Chronicle, May 6, 2019: St. Charles East High School sophomore Emma Santos is one of 25 students selected to participate in Fermilab’s six-week paid summer internship program. The TARGET program incorporates both classroom and work experiences that support the science conducted at Fermilab.
From HPCWire, May 7, 2019: Fermilab scientist Andreas Kronfeld is quoted in this article that follows up on Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s announcement of plans to build the $600 million, 1.5 exaflops Frontier supercomputer.
From DOE’s Direct Current podcast, May 7, 2019: This episode of Direct Current takes a subatomic sojourn into the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab, a massive international research project aiming to unlock the secrets of the neutrino with help from more than 175 institutions in over 30 countries. Join Fermilab’s Chris Mossey, Bonnie Fleming and Lia Merminga and DUNE collaborator Christos Touramanis on a tour from Fermilab to CERN to the bottom of a former gold mine a mile beneath the hills of South Dakota.
The annual DOE Project Management Achievement Awards recognize teams that have demonstrated significant results in completing projects within cost and schedule. Fermilab received two of the three given for Office of Science projects this year: one for the Muon g-2 Project and one for the Utilities Upgrade Project, both of which are key to the laboratory’s research programs.
From Listverse, May 3, 2019: The Dark Energy Camera made this list of 10 brilliant feats of scientific technology, along with LIGO, the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Large Hadron Collider.
From Seeker, May 4, 2019: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln appears in this video on what it would take to create the famed powerful and elegant lightsabers of Star Wars.
From Cosmos, May 6, 2019: An extensive analysis of four different phenomena within the universe points the way to understanding the nature of dark energy, the Dark Energy Survey reveals.
