From Northern Star, Sept. 15, 2016: Dan Boyden, third year physics graduate at Northern Illinois University, is hoping to be sent to Switzerland to work hands-on for DUNE, an international particle experiment including more than 140 labs and universities across 27 countries.
From The Washington Post, Sept. 8, 2016: When it comes to cyclotrons, former Fermilab scientist Timothy Koeth, now at the University of Maryland, is a mixture of promoter, preacher and sorcerer. Fermilab physicist Todd Johnson contributes to the Post article.
From Business Insider, Sept. 7, 2016: Business Insider recently caught up with Fermilab photographer Reidar Hahn and asked him to share a few of his 29 favorite shots from the past 29 years of his career.
From CIO Review, Sept. 7, 2016: Fermilab Chief Information Officer Rob Roser gives a summary of computing at Fermilab for CIO Review magazine.
From Chicago Tribune, Sept. 1, 2016: There is little as exhilarating in science as a group of really smart people slapping their foreheads and admitting, hey, we got it wrong. Sorry, our bad.
From Physics Today, Aug. 23, 2016: Here are six reasons to believe that neutrinos might provide the window into new physics that the LHC has not.
From Nature, Aug. 19, 2016: The next steps for particle physics now seem less certain, as discussions at the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) suggest. Much hinges on whether the LHC unearths phenomena that fall outside the standard model of particle physics and whether China’s plans to build an LHC successor move forward.
From Science News, Aug. 11, 2016: Particle physicists, including Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer, scrutinize latest LHC results to refine knowledge of the Higgs boson’s properties.
From Berkeley Lab, Aug. 9, 2016: DESI, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, will measure light from 35 million galaxies to provide new clues about dark energy. Fermilab is a collaborator on the Berkeley Lab project.
