Fermilab features

On July 17, Fermilab signed the Energy Efficiency Scaling for 2 Decades pledge with DOE representatives.

Guillermo Fernandez Moroni and Silvia Zorzetti are two of 93 early career scientists recognized by DOE for groundbreaking research.

Fermilab and India’s Department of Atomic Energy institutions enjoy a strong partnership, further strengthened by Indian scientists assisting with work on the new particle accelerator.

Researchers look to develop ultra-sensitive, ultra-precise tools that can operate in space on a joint Fermilab and MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory project.

Using superconducting radio frequency cavities, the project set stringent constraints on a theorized particle called the dark photon.

The award recognizes Marco Del Tutto for his work that enhances the capabilities of the Short Baseline Near Detector, the first stage of data collection along the Short-Baseline Neutrino experiment.

The cryogenic plant, to be installed a mile underground, will provide the cooling for two large liquid-argon neutrino detectors for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

A large number of scientists are working on improving the Standard Model prediction of the value of muon g-2 using new data and new lattice calculations. By measuring and calculating this number to ultra-high precision, scientists can test whether the Standard Model is complete.

Using superconducting nanowires and cryogenic electronics, experts from different fields combine their know-how to develop a completely new type of particle detector. The goal: detect particles in ultracold environments, even in the presence of strong magnetic fields where other technologies fail.

More than 70% of the excavation of the South Dakota portion of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is complete. Preparations for turning the huge caverns into usable laboratory space are underway.
