Two experimental collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider, located at CERN laboratory near Geneva, Switzerland, announced today that they have significantly narrowed the mass region in which the Higgs boson could be hiding.
August 16, 2011 — Alex Romanenko, a materials scientist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, will receive $2.5 million from the Department of Energy’s Office of Science to expand his innovative research to develop superconducting accelerator components. These components could be applied in fields such as medicine, energy and discovery science. Romanenko was named a recipient of a DOE Early Career Research Program award for his research on the properties of superconducting radio frequency cavities made of niobium metal. The prestigious…
Experiments at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab are close to reaching the critical sensitivity that is necessary to look for the existence of a light Higgs particle.
Dr. William Brinkman, Director of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, and Kerry Bernstein from the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center will speak about cutting-edge technologies for scientific research and the process of innovation.
Dr. Steven Chu, the United States Secretary of Energy, will give a public lecture at Fermilab on Thursday, June 2 at 8 p.m. at Ramsey Auditorium in Wilson Hall.
