Fermilab features

A postdoc on the PIP-II project, Wijethunga is working on investigating the presence of an electron cloud in the Fermilab Booster.

Scientists at the SQMS Center have directly probed silicon’s impact on the lifespan of superconducting qubits. The uniquely sensitive measurement helped researchers quantify how the material impacts qubit performance.

Consul General Alan Gogbashian of the British Consulate in Chicago and U.K. scientific leaders visited the lab on Aug. 24 to discuss ongoing and emerging collaborations as well as tour research facilities.

An international collaboration is upgrading the CMS detector at CERN to handle the increased number of collisions that the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider will produce.

Excavation of the large caverns for the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility is in full swing. Over a third of the whopping 800,000 tons that need to be extracted from a mile underground have been removed. When finished, the underground facility will cover an area about the size of eight soccer fields and provide space for the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

As the representative of Department of Energy Office of Science at Fermilab, Snyder will continue to support the lab’s mission and ensure work is accomplished safely and within DOE requirements. The Fermilab acting site office manager since February, Snyder has been permanently reassigned to lead the Fermi Site Office while also serving as acting site office manager for nearby Argonne Laboratory.

Physicist Tim Hobbs works on neutrino and QCD theory and enjoys cooking and international travel.

Successful assembly was the result of a collaboration among three institutions in three countries.

Researchers look toward quantum computing to help medical-imaging scientists achieve the goal of accurately measuring tissue properties with MRI scans.

When she’s not studying the Cosmic Microwave Background at the South Pole in subzero temperatures, postdoctoral researcher Sasha Rahlin warms up with beach volleyball in Chicago.
