A collaboration led by Fermilab and Stanford University combines their expertise in quantum science and accelerator technologies to build the world’s largest atom interferometer. The instrument will push the boundaries of quantum physics into macroscopic scales, providing a gateway for dark matter searches and tests of gravitational waves.
From Penn Today, Sept. 23, 2019: A team of researchers the University of Pennsylvania published results from the first set of experiments that can help answer these and other questions in fundamental physics. Their results are an important first step towards building the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab.
Researchers at CERN are investigating how very high-energy electrons could help target tumors. The possibility of using high-energy electrons for cancer treatment combined with new experimental dose-delivery techniques poises the medical field for a revolution in cancer treatment.
For the first time, a team at Fermilab has cooled and operated a superconducting radio-frequency cavity — a crucial component of superconducting particle accelerators — using cryogenic refrigerators, breaking the tradition of cooling cavities by immersing them in a bath of liquid helium. The demonstration is a major breakthrough in the effort to develop lean, compact accelerators for medicine, the environment and industry.
Solving equations in neutrino physics, a trio of theorists doing research at Fermilab discovered a mathematical identity that had eluded mathematicians for centuries. Working with Field Medal winner Terence Tao, they now have derived formal proofs of the new identity.
From Radio Nacional, Sept. 18, 2019: El Laboratorio Nacional Fermi (Fermilab), el segundo centro de investigación más grande del mundo en altas energías, en Estados Unidos, acaba de renovar su convenio con el Concytec, esta vez, para generar capacidades en el rubro de altas energías y materiales en el Perú.
From Andina, Sept. 18, 2019: El Laboratorio Nacional Fermi (Fermilab), el segundo centro de investigación más grande del mundo en altas energías, en Estados Unidos, acaba de renovar su convenio con el Concytec, esta vez, para generar capacidades en el rubro de altas energías y materiales en el Perú.
From the World Conference of Science Journalists, Aug. 26, 2019: In this video, Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer participates in a panel discussion on the big questions that remain unexplained today regarding the origin, nature and ultimate fate of the universe. The other panelists are CERN Director-General Fabiola Gianotti, French National Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics Director Reynald Pain, and University of Zürich Professor Laura Baudis. Physics Today’s Toni Feder) moderates.
Berkeley Lab scientists’ unusual carry-ons include components for a CERN experiment’s detector upgrade.
From Inside HPC, Sept. 15, 2019: Argonne and the National Center for Supercomputing Applications use deep learning to analyze Dark Energy Survey data.
