From Physics, Jan. 31, 2023: Fermilab scientists are part of a group of researchers using cross-correlation measurements combining data from the Dark Energy Survey and the South Pole Telescope to determine cosmological parameters with greater precision. The analysis involved more than 150 researchers with results published as a set of three articles in Physical Review D.

Their analysis combines Dark Energy Survey, South Pole Telescope data to better understand the evolution of universe.

From Big Think, Jan. 25, 2023: How old is the universe? Don Lincoln discusses the Methuselah Star measure versus the Big Bang theory.

From Phys.org, Jan. 25, 2023: Researchers at Fermilab, Northwestern University and Stanford University recently demonstrated an entirely new method for searching for meV dark matter. The group is testing a hypothesis that when the rest energy of a dark photon matches the energy splitting of the two lowest cyclotron levels, the first state of the electron cyclotron will be excited.

The Quantum Horizons award from the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics enables a new collaboration between the Fermilab-hosted SQMS Center, Jefferson Lab and the University of Waterloo to create beyond the state-of-the-art quantum devices.

From CERN, Jan. 20, 2023: CERN is celebrating the completion of civil-engineering work for the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider. This will improve its performance by increasing the number of particle collisions and boosting the potential for discoveries. The HL-LHC is expected to start operating in 2029.

From Yahoo News, Jan. 20, 2023: A small group of Fashion Studies students and COD Fashion Studies Professor Eva Stevens, are working in collaboration with Fermilab engineers to design Personal Protective Equipment for Spot who works in radioactive and contaminated areas.

For decades, scientists have tried to find a way to measure the mass of the lightest matter particle known to exist. Three new approaches now have a chance to succeed.

SQMS Center researchers have identified a new contribution to a qubit’s performance by probing and simulating several-atom-thick layers called silicides.

Fermilab selects its 2023 artist for its year-long artist-in-residence program.
