Researchers at the University of Oxford and the MicroBooNE collaboration have recently performed the first ever measurement of electron neutrino interactions on argon producing outgoing charged pions. The findings were reported in a cover article of Physical Review Letters.

Three students worked with Mu2e scientists with their research into how subatomic particles called muons can spontaneously convert into electrons.

HRL Laboratories developed an open-source extension to the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, designed to control electrostatically confined semiconductor spin-qubits. The spinQICK package builds on the standard QICK API, an open source toolkit developed and deployed by Fermilab.

A team rigging operators at SURF have completed 486 slung-loads down the Ross Shaft in support development of DUNE. This process involving the Ross Shaft will increase dramatically as construction of the DUNE cryostats starts early next year.

The NSF Advanced Chip Enablement Chip Design Hub will be based at the University of Chicago as part of the NSF Chip Design Hub Program will be led by Fermilab’s Microelectronics Division Director, Farah Fahim.

The University of Chicago is set to receive a $3 million grant to expand domestic semiconductor and chip manufacturing with scientists from the UChicago and Fermilab.

DUNE is one of the new experiments that will focus on understanding the enigmatic neutrino may offer insights.

A new paper from researchers at the University of Melbourne shows that DUNE will be able to measure the total flux of all neutrino types using neutral current interactions with argon nuclei.

This past April, Fermilab hosted the Future Collider Workshop to discuss and FCC Feasibility Study. With its long history in collider science, Fermilab is poised to be a central hub for US contributions to the FCC-ee and FCC-hh programs.

Ultra-cold labs and cryogenic systems are essential tools for quantum innovation, training, and discovery. The region’s expanding capacity will boost startups and create new jobs.
