Fermilab brings nature to kids for annual Family Outdoor Fair
From The Beacon News, June 13, 2016: Fermilab usually invites the public indoors to attend expos and science demonstrations, but Sunday afternoon was a day to be outside for the ninth annual Family Outdoor Fair.
The neutrino turns 60
Project Poltergeist led to the discovery of the ghostly particle. Sixty years later, scientists are confronted with more neutrino mysteries than ever before.
What does beauty have to do with physics?
From NOVA, May 31, 2016: Inside the Fermilab particle accelerator, then Harvard undergraduate Sarah Demers, now a professor at Yale University, used an instrument to look on as protons collided at near light-speed with their opposites—antiprotons—and the resulting particle shards decayed after the cataclysmic blast.
The neutrino cocktail
Neutrinos are a puzzling mixture of three flavors and three masses. Scientists want to measure it down to the last drop.
Prototype of LUX-ZEPLIN dark matter detector tested at SLAC
From SLAC, June 1, 2016: Fermilab is one of the collaborating groups preparing to build an ultrasensitive ‘eye’ for an elusive form of matter.
What is a “particle”?
Quantum physics says everything is made of particles, but what does that actually mean?
Low-mass particles that make high-mass stars go boom
Simulations are key to showing how neutrinos help stars go supernova.
