Leah Hesla is a science writer at Argonne National Laboratory and former senior writer in the Fermilab Office of Communication.
Fermilab Deputy Director of Research Joe Lykken and Fermilab Neutrino Division Head Steve Brice, recognized for their service to DOE’s mission and the benefit of the nation, earn among the highest honors a Department of Energy employee or contractor can receive.
A physicist making great advances in particle detector technology, Estrada is recognized by the American Physical Society Division of Particles and Fields for his creation and development of novel applications for CCD technology that probe wide-ranging areas of particle physics, including cosmology, dark matter searches, neutrino detection and quantum imaging.
This International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we feature the talks, presentations or interviews of four Fermilab women who are pushing at the frontiers of particle physics.
Well-known and appreciated by the scientific community for his work on beam physics and supercolliders, Shiltsev joins an organization whose membership included Marie Curie, Albert Einstein and Luigi Galvani.
The American Astronomical Society recognizes Frieman’s significant theoretical contributions to inflationary cosmology and dark‐energy theory and his contributions to optical surveys.
DOE commended the Fermilab-led LHC CMS Detector Upgrade Project team for completing their project on budget and schedule and for delivering equipment that will enable new discoveries in science for years to come. The award was one of three given this year.
Three students have received the prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research Fellowships to conduct their research at Fermilab. They will pursue projects in dark matter detection, superconducting accelerator technology, and the Mu2e and CMS experiments.
Three Fermilab scientists have been selected 2020 fellows of the American Physical Society, a distinction awarded each year to no more than one-half of 1 percent of current APS members by their peers.
Widely recognized for his work in accelerator beam physics, Shiltsev is one of 361 individuals elected to Academia Europaea, which promotes a wider appreciation of the value of European scholarship and research.
Tiffenberg shares the $100,000 prize for advances in dark matter detection technology. He and collaborators on the SENSEI experiment drove the development of innovative sensors called skipper CCDs, which are sensitive enough to be able to pick up signals from dark matter particles of low mass.
