Pantaleo Raimondi’s illustrious career brought him to some of the world’s most prestigious particle physics institutions. In January, Raimondi continued this journey as he took over the role of project director for Fermilab’s newest, more powerful particle accelerator.
India’s Department of Atomic Energy is making a $140 million in-kind contribution to the PIP-II accelerator under construction at Fermilab. Indian institutions will provide a number of technical components for the new machine. The collaboration provides Indian scientists the training, technical insight and know-how for the development of their domestic particle accelerator program.
The United Kingdom will contribute superconducting cryomodules to Fermilab’s new particle accelerator. Collaborators shipped a fully equipped, 27,500-pound prototype from Fermilab to the U.K. and back to test the logistics.
In Her Space, Her Time, physicist Shohini Ghose elucidates the stories of women scientists who contributed to and led some of the biggest breakthroughs in astronomy and physics.
A world-renowned accelerator physicist, Raimondi will lead the PIP-II project, which is building the next-generation Fermilab accelerator complex.
Once again, a Fermilab employee is part of the winning team in the DOE’s leadership program.
Building upon agreements signed in 2017 and 2021, the new signing with Fermilab details CERN’s contributions to the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, which will be the world’s most comprehensive neutrino experiment.
Indirectly testing this theory, motivated by the mysterious mass of the Higgs boson, could be within reach for experiments at the Large Hadron Collider.
Fermilab and India’s Department of Atomic Energy institutions enjoy a strong partnership, further strengthened by Indian scientists assisting with work on the new particle accelerator.
