We are pleased to announce the Fermilab ACE (Accelerator Complex Evolution) Science Workshop for June 14-15 at Fermilab. The goal of the workshop is to explore the physics program for ACE (including muon collider, CLFV, neutrino, dark matter physics thrusts) and their complementarity. We welcome community input and envision discussion sessions on physics, accelerator and technology synergies. We will also be accepting abstracts for new ideas and short remarks. The workshop will be hybrid, and attendance will be possible in-person…
A new exhibit titled, “Through the Lens of Time: A visual journey from Fermilab’s archives to present day,” is on display in the Fermilab Art Gallery on the second floor crossover. The exhibit features images from throughout Fermilab’s history, from the lab’s first offices in Oak Brook in 1967 to the completed IERC earlier this year. The images are displayed in chronological groupings by decade, and headlines from lab newsletters celebrating significant achievements, such as the Main Ring achieving its…
As I am sure you are aware, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is an international flagship experiment located here at the laboratory in Illinois and at Sanford Underground Research Facility in the beautiful Black Hills of Lead, South Dakota. As the construction of the Long Baseline Neutrino Facility that will house DUNE is underway in Lead, opportunities exist for current FRA and prospective FRA employees to expand westward. We would love to tell you more about this exciting project and to…
