Fermilab features

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.

Leon Lederman, a trailblazing researcher with a passion for science education who served as Fermilab’s director from 1978 to 1989 and won the Nobel Prize for discovery of the muon neutrino, died peacefully on Oct. 3 in Rexburg, Idaho. He was 96.

The new building will provide lab space and serve as a hub for collaboration for international teams of scientists, engineers, and technicians working on several key programs at Fermilab.

Fermilab scientists are adapting the lab’s cutting-edge accelerator technology for qubits and quantum sensors.

New, flexible power modulators give accelerator operators more precise control over particle beams.

The federal grants will support University of Chicago, Argonne and Fermilab in their explorations of quantum computing, dark matter, and imaging.

Even though the ProtoDUNE time projection chambers are small compared to the planned DUNE far detectors, the data volume that these detectors produce are similar in size to what is coming out of the largest LHC experiments.
