Fermilab’s Jeny Teheran wins leadership award from Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers
The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers awarded Fermilab’s Jeny Teheran the 2020-2021 Excellence in Leadership Award. She currently serves as the president of the Fermilab chapter of SHPE. Teheran received this award for a second year in a row.
Fermilab welcomes first baby bison of the year
The first baby bison of the season was born in the morning on April 26, 2021.
Modeling collisions between argon nuclei and neutrinos from a supernova
A new computer program called MARLEY simulates supernova neutrino interactions in argon-based particle detectors.
Gina Rameika elected DUNE co-spokesperson
On April 1, Gina Rameika assumed the role of co-spokesperson for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, elected by a collaboration of more than 1,000 physicists and engineers. DUNE, hosted by Fermilab, comprises people from more than 200 institutions in 33 countries.
Sensitive qubit-based technique to accelerate search for dark matter
Quantum bits acting as particle detectors offer a fast and highly reliable means of solving one of the great mysteries in physics: the nature of dark matter. This new method promises a more efficient way to detect dark matter candidates by improving the experimental signal-to-noise ratio.
First results from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics
The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment hosted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics. These results confirm an earlier experiment of the same name performed at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Combined, the two results show strong evidence that our best theoretical model of the subatomic world is incomplete. One potential explanation would be the existence of undiscovered particles or forces.
The next supercollider
What does it take to envision and build a seemingly impossible particle accelerator? The results of these discussions will shape the next 100 years of particle physics research.
Fermilab and Argonne promote opportunities for small businesses
On March 17, Fermilab and Argonne hosted a virtual “Doing Business with Your National Labs” meeting. The event drew nearly 200 diverse small business leaders who came to hear about how to prepare and submit proposals for contracts.
New computing algorithms expand the boundaries of a quantum future
To fully realize the potential of quantum computing, scientists must start with the basics: developing step-by-step procedures, or algorithms, for quantum computers to perform simple tasks. A Fermilab scientist has done just that, announcing two new algorithms that build upon existing work in the field to further diversify the types of problems quantum computers can solve.
