In coordination with six other national labs, Fermilab is developing AI tools to increase the efficiency and innovation in particle accelerators as part of the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission.
Researchers at Fermilab moved the final subdetector for Mu2e into the experiment hall, marking a major step forward for the collaboration. Once completed, Mu2e will search for a rare muon conversion that may unlock evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model.
The Short-Baseline Near Detector has logged the largest sample of neutrino interactions in liquid argon in the world. Newly elected, Andrzej Szelc will co-lead SBND during the next phase of the experiment.
On March 2, 1995, the top quark discovery at Fermilab was announced by scientists on the CDF and DZero collaborations, and the sixth and final quark was added to the Standard Model. We ask two members of the collaborations to reflect on this groundbreaking moment in particle physics.
The Short-Baseline Near Detector collaboration at Fermilab has started filling their detector with liquid argon. It’s one of the last steps before the detector sees its first particle tracks.
Fermilab scientists and engineers are developing a machine learning platform to help run Fermilab’s accelerator complex alongside a fast-response machine learning application for accelerating particle beams. The programs will work in tandem to boost efficiency and energy conservation in Fermilab accelerators.
Magnets play a key role in looking for the direct transformation of muons into electrons, a theorized phenomenon that Fermilab’s Mu2e experiment will hunt for when it comes online in 2023. In an important milestone, seven essential magnets have passed testing and been accepted for the construction of the experiment.
ADMX has ruled out a region where a hypothetical dark matter particle called an axion could have been hiding. The new results are drawn from four times more data than the previous results and will serve as an important guide for other experiments on where to look for this elusive particle.
A collaboration with fewer than 100 members has played an important role in Fermilab’s ongoing partnership with Latin American scientists and institutions.
A collaboration led by Fermilab and Stanford University combines their expertise in quantum science and accelerator technologies to build the world’s largest atom interferometer. The instrument will push the boundaries of quantum physics into macroscopic scales, providing a gateway for dark matter searches and tests of gravitational waves.
