From The Doings/Chicago Tribune, Feb. 3, 2017: STEM events in LaGrange included a visit from Fermilab’s Jerry Zimmerman, better known as Mr. Freeze, and his demonstrations of cryogenics.
Michael Syphers named to national panel on high-energy physics
From NIU Today, Feb. 1, 2017: The U.S. Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation have appointed Michael Syphers, a senior research professor of physics at NIU and former Fermilab physicist, to serve as a member of the national High Energy Physics Advisory Panel.
Road trip science
The Escaramujo Project delivered detector technology by van to eight universities in Latin America.
Taking down a giant: 699 tons of SLAC’s accelerator removed for upgrade
From SLAC, Jan. 31, 2017: A full kilometer of SLAC’s historic linac has been stripped of all its equipment. Over the next two years it will be re-equipped with new technology to power an X-ray laser, LCLS-II. Fermilab and Jefferson Lab are building the cryomodules for its superconducting portion.
Sign of a long-sought asymmetry
A result from the LHCb experiment shows what could be the first evidence of matter and antimatter baryons behaving differently.
