From Kane County Connects, Sept. 4, 2018: The ICARUS neutrino detector moves into its Fermilab home.
From New Scientist, Aug. 29, 2018: Fermilab scientist and NIU professor Swapan Chattopadhyay is quoted in this article on the AWAKE experiment at CERN.
From Kane County Chronicle, Aug. 30, 2018: Fermilab scientists have played a role in the recent discovery of the Higgs boson transforming into bottom quarks as it decays. The breakthrough was described in a joint announcement from the Large Hadron Collider experiment collaborations ATLAS and CMS at CERN.
From CNET, Aug. 30, 2018: This explainer on the latest Higgs boson result from ATLAS and CMS quotes Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln.
From Live Science, Aug. 28, 2018: Fermilab and CMS scientist Don Lincoln explains the latest exciting result from the Large Hadron Collider: ATLAS and CMS’s first unambiguous observation of Higgs bosons decaying into a matter-antimatter pair of bottom quarks. Surprisingly, the Higgs bosons decay most often in this way.
From GeekWire, Aug. 28, 2018: It took several years for ATLAS and CMS researchers to nail down the evidence of the Higgs decay into two b quarks to a standard significance of 5-sigma. Researchers had to sift through billions of data points from two collider runs to boost their confidence sufficiently.
From CNN, Aug. 25, 2018: Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln explains the recent buzzworthy solution to the famous spaghetti mystery posed by Richard Feynman.
From The Story Collider, Aug. 24, 2018: Fermilab scientist Herman White tells the story about leaving his hometown of Tuskegee to pursue physics. His Alabama roots help him make a surprising connection later in his career.
From Michigan State University, Aug. 22, 2018: DUNE scientist Kendall Mahn of Michigan State University is featured in this article on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, which recently published its Interim Design Report.
