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.
Fermilab features
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.
