A novel underwater detection experiment will continue Minnesota’s legacy of neutrino research. The Lake Vermillion neutrino detector experiment is being led by Fermilab.

Gustavo Cancelo, senior scientist at Fermilab near Chicago talks about QICK, the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, an open source platform developed at Fermilab that has become a widely adopted tool for quantum control and readout across four continents.

Fermilab has refined measurements of the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment by focusing on where these calculations begin at the detector. The team achieved results more consistent with existing theoretical predictions without confirming new physics.

Researchers at Fermilab, Stanford University and the University of Delaware recently showed that one of the oldest precision experiments performed by physicists could also be used to search for millicharged particles.

Alex Drlica-Wagner of Fermilab and other researched deployed an AI learning model where to point a telescope and predict what happened next, then compare its guess with what the humans actually did and made it correct itself.

DUNE researchers are preparing for data analysis by developing AI systems to sort through huge amounts of data, identify neutrino interactions, spot signs of a stellar explosion and even detect problems inside the detector.

The University of Alabama and Fermilab received an award from the Genesis Mission to build an AI tool to help sift through floods of data, speeding up the pace of discovery so scientists can focus on the science itself.

A four-year project to produce two HL-ZDCs for one of the CMS collider’s main detectors was approved for funding. The detectors will be fabricated and assembled at KU’s Mechanical Prototyping Lab, tested with high-energy particle beams at Fermilab and installed at CERN for the next phase of physics research at the supercollider.

The SQMS Centre has achieved a significant advance in quantum search algorithms using qudit-based Grover search. This Grover search offers a solution to the limitations of traditional qubit systems, particularly as quantum computers scale beyond simple designs.

Scientists have been testing the limits of the DUNE detectors after they subjected the prototype detector to an extreme 300,000-volt stress trial, before it is installed deep underground in the US.
