Over 100 accelerator scientists, engineers and particle physicists gathered at Fermilab last fall for the first of a new series of workshops to discuss the future of beam-cooling technology for a muon collider.

Fermilab’s Integrated Engineering Research Center is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center honoring the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning and operation of the Tevatron accelerator.

DOE announced $71 million in funding for 25 projects in high energy physics that will use the emerging technologies of quantum information science to answer fundamental questions about the universe. This research will develop and deploy innovative solutions for scientific discovery by applying the unique capabilities and features of the quantum world to the challenges of making new discoveries in fundamental physics.

A massive 95-metric ton coldbox that completed a cross-ocean journey from France to Batavia, Illinois was moved across the Fermilab campus this week.

Fermilab engineers escorted a 209,000-pound coldbox into its new home at Fermilab as part of a new particle accelerator project aiming to better understand the building blocks of the universe.

Born and raised in Sicily, she now directs at Fermilab in Chicago, one of the five national centers that the American government has created for the study of quantum technologies and coordinates 500 scientists from all over the world.

A key milestone in the U.S.-funded upgrade to the CMS experiment was achieved with the successful delivery of a 5-meter-long carbon support tube to CERN. Designed and built at Purdue University, the tube will house new inner particle detectors for CMS, which is being prepared for the high-luminosity upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider. The CMS collaboration is composed of scientists from roughly 240 institutions spread across more than 50 countries.

The DUNE experiment with study neutrinos and antineutrinos. A recent paper suggests DUNE might also be able to detect and confirm the existence of large extra dimensions.

President Biden recently signed a bicameral resolution that changes the name of Fermilab’s Integrated Engineering Research Center to the Helen Edwards Engineering Research Center. The building’s new name honors the late Dr. Helen Edwards, a renowned particle physicist at Fermilab.

Dr. Lia Merminga stepped down as laboratory director on Jan. 13, 2025. Dr. Young-Kee Kim has been named as interim director. The new search for a permanent director will begin immediately.
