In their quest to discover physics beyond the Standard Model, physicists weigh the pros and cons of different search strategies.
For several weeks, a prototype detector for the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment collected data using beams from CERN’s particle accelerators. The results show a mature technology exceeding all expectations. It’s the culmination of three years of hard work by a global team dedicated to constructing and bringing the new detector online.
New research results have potentially identified a fourth type of neutrino: the sterile neutrino.
Scientists Rainer Weiss, Kip Thorne and Barry Barish won the 2017 Nobel Prize in physics for their roles in creating the LIGO experiment.
We’re turning 50! There are several ways to celebrate with Fermilab on June 15 – and prizes for a few lucky participants.
