For the first time, scientists have measured the rate at which high-energy neutrinos are absorbed by our planet, a development that could lead to discoveries about physics and Earth.

From CERN Openlab, Nov. 22, 2017: Physics data reduction helps ensure researchers gain valuable insights from the vast amounts of particle collision data produced by CMS. Fermilab scientist Oliver Gutsche and colleagues will look at investigate techniques based on Apache Spark, a popular open-source software platform.

Dabbar spent the day touring the lab and meeting with Fermilab employees.

Successful physics collaborations rely on cooperation between people from many different disciplines.

When the power goes out, what’s our first priority?
