The world’s largest liquid-argon neutrino detector, ICARUS, is about to make its way from CERN to Fermilab to begin its new mission: hunting for a previously undetected fourth type of neutrino.
This month in Fermilab history: June
It was in June that National Accelerator Laboratory employees first showed up to work and that Leon Lederman became the lab’s second director.
Muon magnet’s moment has arrived
The 50-foot-wide superconducting electromagnet at the center of the experiment saw its first beam of muon particles from Fermilab’s accelerators, kicking off a three-year effort to measure just what happens to those particles when placed in a stunningly precise magnetic field. The answer could rewrite scientists’ picture of the universe and how it works.
A brief etymology of particle physics
How did the proton, photon and other particles get their names?
Send Fermilab a birthday message
We’re turning 50! There are several ways to celebrate with Fermilab on June 15 – and prizes for a few lucky participants.
ICARUS and the three labs
Technicians from CERN and INFN recently converged at Fermilab to help prepare the ICARUS detector’s future home.
Early Tevatron design days
How many times must one iterate on a magnet-spool design? Until Dr. Wilson is happy.
Sleuths use bubbles to look for WIMPs
The PICO experiment homes in on dark matter.
