In a project selected for funding by the Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and partners from other national laboratories, universities and industry will apply artificial intelligence and machine learning to enable precise and adaptive resonance control in particle accelerators. Their work aims to lower operating costs by millions of dollars each year and improve accelerator performance, driving scientific discovery.

Fermilab recently hosted over 500 physicists for the American Physical Society’s biennial Division of Particles and Fields meeting. With presentations by Fermilab Director Norbert Holtkamp and CERN Director-General Mark Thomson, the meeting provided particle physicists the opportunity to come together and consider the future of high-energy physics research.

The experiment, designed to measure the magnetic moment of the muon, is also sensitive to a particle property called the electric dipole moment.

DUNE is pioneering the future of neutrino research by integrating artificial intelligence into its experiment, drawing on decades of machine learning work at Fermilab.

A prototype for the world’s biggest neutrino experiment is running under extreme conditions to see how well the technology performs under pressure.

The awards will support Fermilab projects by leveraging AI to boost innovation and technology development, advance DOE’s Genesis Mission and accelerate scientific discovery.

Fermilab crews have successfully placed the first beamline component in the tunnel that will house the powerful new PIP-II linear accelerator, marking a major milestone for the lab’s future neutrino research program.

As Fermilab commemorates 70 years since the discovery of the neutrino at the Savannah River Site in the United States, the lab also celebrates its multiple generations of pioneering neutrino research. Today, Fermilab is building the next era of neutrino discovery through the development of the world-leading Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Fermilab hosted the inaugural DUNE Data Analysis School, organized through the lab’s Neutrino Physics Center. The school brought together early-career researchers for intensive training in the software and analysis tools needed to perform physics analyses for the upcoming Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. The program marks a major step in preparing the scientific workforce for DUNE and is expected to become a recurring training initiative.

The 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time has officially started, marking the beginning of a new era in astronomy and astrophysics.
