Fermilab scientist Josh Frieman, former director of the Dark Energy Survey, has been elected by his peers to membership in the National Academy of Sciences, considered one of the highest honors a scientist can receive. Members are elected in recognition of their distinguished and continuing achievements in original research.
The students received the prestigious U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research Award to conduct their doctoral research at Fermilab.
Fromm discusses working at Fermilab as well as joining the lab’s EDI Task Force.
CERN’s accelerators and the LHC’s detectors have undergone major upgrades that will allow scientists to collect more data in the upcoming run than they did in the previous two runs combined.
Levernier shares his passion for the environment, birding and prairie restoration at Fermilab.
As this year’s composer-in-residence, they will create musical pieces in concert with Fermilab’s scientists.
The two institutions have signed an agreement to collaborate on research in support of one of the largest particle physics experiments in the world: DUNE, hosted by Fermilab.
Lia Merminga, an internationally renowned physicist and scientific leader, has been appointed to lead the U.S.’ premier particle physics and accelerator lab, effective April 18. Merminga will be the seventh director of Fermilab and the first woman to serve in the role.
Beginning March 28, Fermilab will again be open to the public for outdoor activities, such as biking, hiking, running and viewing the bison herd.
The Mu2e experiment at Fermilab will look for a never-before-seen subatomic phenomenon that, if observed, would transform our understanding of elementary particles: the direct conversion of a muon into an electron. An international collaboration of over 200 scientists is building the Mu2e precision particle detector that will hunt for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
