Please read a message from the Fermilab director on visiting the lab’s campus.

Scientists at Fermilab have received funding from the DOE Office of Technology Transitions and the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management to develop devices that generate particles to be accelerated in compact accelerators. The final result could be a machine for metal 3D printing and other applications.

The United Kingdom will contribute superconducting cryomodules to Fermilab’s new particle accelerator. Collaborators shipped a fully equipped, 27,500-pound prototype from Fermilab to the U.K. and back to test the logistics.

A delegation of researchers from a dozen organizations in the U.K. met with Fermilab scientists. They saw firsthand Fermilab’s connection to the Illinois-Express Quantum Network.

Fermilab experts demonstrate their expertise in designing, building and testing unique accelerator magnets for the upgrade of the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The director general and other guests from Spain’s Centre for Energy, Environmental and Technological Research visited Fermilab. Their visit focused on their collaboration on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and gave the CIEMAT delegation an opportunity to learn about Fermilab’s other research capabilities.

The award-winning, state-of-the-art research facility is now officially ready to host scientific exploration, collaboration and innovation.

In the culmination of a decade’s worth of effort, the DES collaboration of scientists analyzed an unprecedented sample of more than 1,500 supernovae classified using machine learning. They placed the strongest constraints on the expansion of the universe ever obtained with the DES supernova survey. While consistent with the current standard cosmological model, the results do not rule out a more complex theory that the density of dark energy in the universe could have varied over time.

After twenty years of research, development, testing and production, the United States is now shipping state-of-the-art superconducting accelerator magnets to CERN for the high-luminosity upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider. At the heart of these powerful magnets is a new superconducting material used for the first time in a particle accelerator.

The 2023 P5 report represents the major activity in the field of particle physics that delivers recommendations to U.S. funding agencies.
