Particle accelerator beams can create significant damage to the targets used to generate particles for experiments. Researchers are designing targets to withstand material degradation from radiation damage, shock from thermal expansion and material fatigue — all caused by accelerated protons.
Celebrate International Dark Matter Day by joining a live Q&A session through YouTube with physicists from Fermilab at 11 a.m. Central Time on Wednesday, Oct. 30. Additionally, a dark matter-themed trivia event will be held in Batavia, Illinois on Oct. 28.
Bringing expertise in materials science and engineering, Akshay Murthy is a leader at Fermilab’s Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center. Murthy’s passion at SQMS is extending the lifetimes of quantum states to realize next-generation quantum computers and sensors.
Crews completed the first successful lift and lowering of a steel beam a mile underground for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota.
A new building at Fermilab’s main entrance will provide a better welcome to the laboratory and a smoother site access experience.
Participants in the Energy I-Corps program aim to commercialize the Fermilab-developed Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit. QICK has been helping researchers improve their quantum computing performance while minimizing cost.
Brynn Kristen MacCoy’s work on improving beam dynamics has helped Muon g-2 researchers better understand and account for the behavior of the muon beam.
William Pellico received this year’s URA Honorary Engineering Award highlighting his innovative application of power-over-fiber technology for use in DUNE’s cryogenic environments.
To aid in the search for elusive dark matter, Kevin Pedro looks for ways to harness the capabilities of artificial intelligence for analyzing particle collision data. For this work, Pedro was awarded the 2024 Universities Research Association Honorary Early Career Award.
Ana Martina Botti’s work as a postdoctoral researcher has helped pave the way for more sensitive dark matter searches using skipper CCDs. For this important contribution, Botti was presented the 2024 URA Honorary Tollestrup Award for Postdoctoral Research.
