The 1980s and 1990s were a unique time for particle physics in the aftermath of the Standard Model in which Fermilab provided many contributions. The upcoming International Symposium on the History of Particle Physics at CERN will include research from Fermilab’s Tevatron.

Recently, 18 students from the University of Wyoming visited Fermilab and Argonne to observe operations firsthand and meet with industry professionals at each of the labs.

Fermilab released the third and final measurement of the muon magnetic anomaly. The Muon g-2 collaboration describes the result in the recently published paper in the Physical Review Letters.

A new scalable control platform called Manarat has been developed to expand the capabilities of QICK, an open-source platform developed at Fermilab. Manarat will help overcome scalability challenges currently facing superconducting quantum computing and unlocking the full potential of this transformative technology.

Three photographers were chosen for their excellence in capturing images of America’s Underground Lab. One of the three photos includes a photo of a person inside one of the drifts used to access DUNE.

Researchers at the University of Oxford and the MicroBooNE collaboration have recently performed the first ever measurement of electron neutrino interactions on argon producing outgoing charged pions. The findings were reported in a cover article of Physical Review Letters.

Three students worked with Mu2e scientists with their research into how subatomic particles called muons can spontaneously convert into electrons.

HRL Laboratories developed an open-source extension to the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, designed to control electrostatically confined semiconductor spin-qubits. The spinQICK package builds on the standard QICK API, an open source toolkit developed and deployed by Fermilab.

A team rigging operators at SURF have completed 486 slung-loads down the Ross Shaft in support development of DUNE. This process involving the Ross Shaft will increase dramatically as construction of the DUNE cryostats starts early next year.

The NSF Advanced Chip Enablement Chip Design Hub will be based at the University of Chicago as part of the NSF Chip Design Hub Program will be led by Fermilab’s Microelectronics Division Director, Farah Fahim.
