Fermilab features

The upcoming Short-Baseline Near Detector at Fermilab continues scientists’ search for evidence of a hypothetical particle, the sterile neutrino. Collaborators around the world are participating in the detector’s construction. Its first critical components recently arrived from partner institutions. When complete, SBND will be the third and final detector in Fermilab’s Short-Baseline Neutrino Program.

The agreement launches a multinational collaboration to build a powerful new accelerator at DOE’s Fermilab complex. Italy and its National Institute of Nuclear Physics will provide major contributions to the construction of the 176-meter-long superconducting particle accelerator that is the centerpiece of the PIP-II project.

Researchers demonstrate the cryogen-free operation of a superconducting radio-frequency cavity that might ease barriers to its use in societal applications.

How do you calibrate a probe that is sealed inside a giant liquid-argon neutrino detector?

One of the core institutions that form the Chicago Quantum Exchange, Fermilab is at the cutting edge of quantum science, developing quantum sensors, communication systems and physics algorithms for science and society.

Collaboration is the first step in broad partnership between Fermilab, Argonne, University of Chicago, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

When he isn’t working on magnets for the Large Hadron Collider, Parker loves talking to people about technical topics in everyday language.

Representatives from industry joined physicists to present software and share ideas about the future of quantum science and technology.

Their efforts apply research from multiple disciplines to hunt for dark matter – in particular, the much sought-after axion.

An SRF team at Fermilab has demonstrated record performance from an accelerating cavity using a technique that could lead to significant cost savings for future accelerators.
