Over 100 accelerator scientists, engineers and particle physicists gathered at Fermilab last fall for the first of a new series of workshops to discuss the future of beam-cooling technology for a muon collider.

Fermilab’s Integrated Engineering Research Center is now known as the Helen Edwards Engineering Center honoring the late particle physicist who led the design, construction, commissioning and operation of the Tevatron accelerator.

DOE announced $71 million in funding for 25 projects in high energy physics that will use the emerging technologies of quantum information science to answer fundamental questions about the universe. This research will develop and deploy innovative solutions for scientific discovery by applying the unique capabilities and features of the quantum world to the challenges of making new discoveries in fundamental physics.

A massive 95-metric ton coldbox that completed a cross-ocean journey from France to Batavia, Illinois was moved across the Fermilab campus this week.

Fermilab engineers escorted a 209,000-pound coldbox into its new home at Fermilab as part of a new particle accelerator project aiming to better understand the building blocks of the universe.

Born and raised in Sicily, she now directs at Fermilab in Chicago, one of the five national centers that the American government has created for the study of quantum technologies and coordinates 500 scientists from all over the world.

The DUNE experiment with study neutrinos and antineutrinos. A recent paper suggests DUNE might also be able to detect and confirm the existence of large extra dimensions.

Don Lincoln discusses the possible existence of a theoretical particle known as the graviton. Although no experimental evidence for gravitons exists, they are a respectable concept in the world of professional physicists.

A study published in the Journal of High Energy Physics proposes that the enigmatic behavior of neutrinos could be explained if there exist extra spatial dimensions on the scale of micrometers and the familiar three dimensions of space. The theory of large extra dimensions offers a potential explanation for the origin of the tiny neutrino masses not covered int he Standard Model of Physics.

Fermilab scientists hope to harness the powers of quantum computers to solve unprecedented problems. Central to this goal is the ability to communicate between the quantum and classical computing worlds.
