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.

Pandey’s term as co-spokesperson of NuSTEC will focus on advancing higher levels of precision for the next generation of neutrino experiments, including the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, an international collaboration hosted by Fermilab.

Currently, NOvA is Fermilab’s leading long-baseline neutrino experiment. Cremonesi is now co-leading the international collaboration of scientists behind it.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Genesis Mission is building a new era of AI-driven scientific discovery — and it requires far more than powerful supercomputers to succeed. To support this national effort, Fermilab’s Fermi Data Platform is providing secure, large-scale data infrastructure needed to make advanced AI research possible across the American Science Cloud.

Fermilab developed the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK, as a compact, customizable and cost-effective quantum readout and control option for scientists. Harmoniqs, a quantum computing software company, developed Piccolo.jl, a quantum control and calibration software package. Together, their developers are integrating the two to achieve precise, repeatable qubit control, providing better results in less time.

MicroBooNE, with its large neutrino detector at Fermilab, has wrapped up the data-collecting phase and will continue to conduct analysis under fresh leadership.

Olivia Seidel’s work draws on Fermilab’s deep expertise in microelectronics and cryogenic devices to support key goals of the Genesis Mission — a sweeping U.S. Department of Energy artificial intelligence initiative.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment’s innovative hybrid near detector will be a game changer. An active prototyping program over the last few years has been refining and validating the design of this smaller detector’s key element, a liquid-argon time projection chamber, and the data analysis tools and methods that go with it.

Researchers with Department of Energy national laboratories are working together alongside industry collaborators to support Genesis Mission goals by using the power of artificial intelligence to significantly reduce design times of custom computer chips for use in extreme temperature, high-radiation and ultra-fast environments.
