Ana Martina Botti’s work as a postdoctoral researcher has helped pave the way for more sensitive dark matter searches using skipper CCDs. For this important contribution, Botti was presented the 2024 URA Honorary Tollestrup Award for Postdoctoral Research.
Physicists use large particle detectors filled with liquid argon to study neutrinos. Brazilian scientists discovered that a commercially available material can significantly reduce the amount of nitrogen in liquid argon, which improves the detection of neutrino interactions.
The new building, named the Integrated Engineering Research Center, provides state-of-the-art lab space and will make research and development a more collaborative and centralized process at Fermilab.
Scientists in the particle physics community are bringing environmental and climate issues to the table in discussions about future research.
Fermilab scientists have developed an experiment to detect dark matter using superconducting qubits as sensors.
An international group of scientists has finished the assembly of the large neutrino detection system for the Short-Baseline Near Detector at Fermilab.
Astrophysicist Maria Vincenzi won the award for her thesis, which created a process for preventing Dark Energy Survey data from being thrown out due to contamination from unusable supernovae.
It takes years of on-the-job training to learn the ins and outs of particle accelerator operation.
As part of a class on design thinking, a graduate student turned her research topic into an art installation resembling a giant disco ball.
