Fermilab gets ready to upgrade accelerator complex for more powerful particle beams

Press release

PIP-II, a particle accelerator project for generating intense neutrino beams, has achieved an important milestone.

Theoretical physicists at Brookhaven National Laboratory recently published in Physical Review Letters calculations related to the way muons interact with all other known particles through three of nature’s four fundamental forces, reducing the greatest source of uncertainty in the prediction. The calculation comes out just in time for precision measurements at Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment. Photo: Reidar Hahn
