From Physics World, Oct. 4, 2018: “[Lederman’s] leadership helped to shape the field of particle physics, designing, building and operating the Tevatron and positioning the laboratory to become a world leader in accelerator and neutrino science,” says current Fermilab director Nigel Lockyer.
From Corriere Adriatico, Oct. 4, 2018: E’ suo il termine “particella di Dio”: addio al fisico statunitense Leon Max Lederman, premio Nobel per la Fisica nel 1988 per i suoi studi sui neutrini, appassionato divulgatore scientifico. E’ morto ieri all’età di 96 anni a Rexburg, città nello stato dell’Idaho.
From Bloomberg News, Oct. 3, 2018: In 1989, he retired as director of the Fermilab, where he had headed a team that discovered the bottom quark, one of the six types of the elementary quark particle, in 1977.
From WTTW’s Chicago Tonight, Oct. 3, 2018: This 6-minute segment covers Lederman’s expansive career, including his 1988 Nobel Prize for the discovery of the muon neutrino, one of the building blocks of matter.
From Science News, Oct. 3, 2018: His work revealed the existence of multiple new elementary particles — with names like the muon neutrino and the bottom quark — showing that the realm of the infinitesimal was more complex than previously thought.
From The New York Times, Oct. 3, 2018: Leon Lederman, whose ingenious experiments with particle accelerators deepened science’s understanding of the subatomic world, died early Wednesday in Rexburg, Idaho. He was 96.
From Wired UK, Oct. 1, 2018: The winning photos in the 2018 Global Physics Photowalk take a sideways look at particle detectors and operating mines.
From Le Scienze, Sept. 21, 2018: Successo del prototipo dell’esperimento DUNE, allestito presso il centro di ricerca ginevrino: sono i primi indizi del passaggio di neutrini nei rivelatori costituiti da enormi serbatoi di argon liquido. È l’inizio di un progetto che porterà alla realizzazione di un apparato sperimentale simile ma 20 volte più grande al FermiLab di Chicago.
From Udaipur Kiran, Sept. 18, 2018: More than 1,000 scientists and engineers from 32 countries spanning five continents — Africa, Asia, Europe, North America and South America — are working on the development, design and construction of the DUNE detectors.
From everyeye.it, Sept. 23, 2018: Il più grande rilevatore di neutrini ad argon liquido al mondo ha appena identificato il suo primo neutrino: inizia così la storia del Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.
