From the Chicago Tribune, Aug. 10, 2023: This week Fermilab hosted the first U.S. Quantum Information Science school for 150 students, including scientists, researchers, college students and industry professionals. The program aims to educate the next generation of researchers on quantum device design and fabrication; quantum computing algorithms; quantum sensing; and cryogenics.
From Interesting Engineering, Aug. 9, 2023: For more than a decade, SLAC has been preparing to power the world’s most powerful X-ray free electron laser by getting electrons to fly through a new superconducting accelerator called the Linac Coherent Light Source II. Fermilab is one of the four national labs to contribute to the engineering of this powerful superconducting X-ray machine.
From the The Globe and Mail (Canada), Aug. 5, 2023: Scientists and researchers at SNOLAB are assembling a new experiment known as the Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search to help solve the mystery of, what is the dark of dark matter? Fermilab associate scientist, Daniel Baxter who worked at the SNOLAB facility two kilometers beneath the Earth’s surface, weighs in.
From Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, July 25, 2023: PNNL scientists and a team of university and national laboratory collaborators recently published a paper detailing a new detector design that can be fine-tuned to increase sensitivity to physics beyond the original DUNE concept.
From msn.com, July 26, 2023: The story of Felicia the ferret with her amazing contribution of helping clean and decontaminate the tunnels of main ring particle accelerator in 1971 is still making headlines around the world.
From Big Think, July 23, 2023: Fermilab’s Don Lincoln discusses how using a powerful particle accelerator, researchers at Fermilab have attempted to create a very light form of dark matter and recently published their results.
From PNNL, July 25, 2023: PNNL researchers and a team of university and national laboratory collaborators recently published a paper detailing a new detector design that can be fine-tuned to increase sensitivity to physics beyond the original DUNE concept. The new detector, named SLoMo, will enhances DUNE’s sensitivity to neutrinos emitted from sources other than the beam of neutrinos created at Fermilab.
From West Suburban Living, July 10, 2023: West Suburban Living magazine interviews Lia Merminga on how she developed an interest in science, who inspired her and her journey from early education to being Fermilab’s first female director.
From the Print (India), July 15, 2023
India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a $140 million in-kind contribution from the Indian Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) towards collaborative development of the Proton Improvement Plan-II Accelerator, for the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility. India will contribute to superconducting research, electromagnets, radio frequency equipment, and other technical components for PIP-II.
From Wired, July 16, 2023: The use of a machine learning tool known as sparse convolutional neural network is now being used by researchers to accelerate real-time data analysis. SCNNs have been used in simulations of the data expected from DUNE and analyzed the simulated data faster than ordinary methods while requiring significantly less computational power.
