Fermilab features

Joel Butler reflects on his time as the CMS spokesperson and what’s next in his long physics career.

Recently, the MicroBooNE experiment published a paper describing how they used convolutional neural networks — a particular type of deep neural network — to sort individual pixels coming from images made by a particular type of detector.

High-energy physicists and members of industry will meet face-to-face to brainstorm ideas and participate in the field’s first hands-on quantum computing workshop.

The South Pole Telescope, specially designed to measure the cosmic microwave background, has recently opened its third-generation camera for a multiyear survey to observe the earliest instants of the universe.

The National Science Foundation has awarded a $1.6 million grant to four U.S. universities for work on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

For the next two years, the Fermilab physicist will help lead the CMS experiment to push the boundaries of what is possible with the giant particle detector.

Rich Kron and Tom Diehl will lead the sky survey through the close of observations and into an era of full-data analysis.

IOTA, the new test accelerator, gives researchers rich and varied opportunities to dive deep into the physics of particle beams.

A Fermilab accelerator team has designed a device that chops accelerator-generated ion beams under highly demanding conditions.

ICARUS now sits in the path of Fermilab’s neutrino beam, a milestone that brings the detector one step closer to taking data.
