Fermilab has finalized an agreement with construction firm Kiewit-Alberici Joint Venture to start pre-excavation work for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, which will house the enormous particle detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. The South Dakota portion of the facility will be built a mile beneath the surface at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in Lead, South Dakota.
Agencies in the United States and France have signed statements expressing interest to work together on the development and production of technical components for PIP-II, a major particle accelerator project with substantial international contributions. In addition, the French agencies also plan to collaborate on DUNE, an international flagship science project that will unlock the mysteries of neutrinos.
Photographers will be able to visit, explore and take pictures of scientific machines and locations in research areas not usually accessible to the public. [Update: Registration is now closed.]
Fermilab will participate in the 2018 Global Physics Photowalk with a local Photowalk on July 28. Registration will open on June 4.
Soldner-Rembold has experience leading a large collaboration and has been working in neutrino physics for more than a decade.
The donation includes field guides for Fermilab docents to use during tours and Spanish-language nature books for visiting students.
For the sixth year in a row, the Fermilab Arts and Lecture Series sold out its Physics Slam. But this year, much to the audience’s delight, there was a new twist.
One day after signing the first ever umbrella science and technology agreement between the U.S. and the UK and announcing $88 million in funding for LBNF/DUNE, UK science minister Jo Johnson visited Fermilab for a tour.
Once a year the Black Hills come alive with the sounds of science.
