LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), a next-generation dark matter detector that will be at least 100 times more sensitive than its predecessor, has cleared another approval milestone and is on schedule to begin its deep-underground hunt for theoretical particles, known as weakly interacting massive particles, in 2020.
From the National Science Foundation, Sept. 26, 2016: The awardees include the Center for Bright Beams at Cornell University, in which Fermilab is a partner. The center’s goal is to make more intense accelerators at a lower cost.
From Nature, Sept. 22, 2016: Cronin, scientist at the University of Chicago and who held leadership position at Fermilab, won the Nobel Prize for the discovery of violations of fundamental symmetry principles in the decay of neutral K mesons.
From Clarksville Online, Sept. 23, 2016: Earlier this summer, Austin Peay State University student Jacob Robertson, on a visit to Fermilab, took a look at a celestial object and realized it wasn’t just another star.
Fermilab’s summer interns exchange lazy days for lab experience.
A story of the fate of some walnut trees on the laboratory site in 1979 takes us inside the Wilson Hall stairways.
From Northern Star, Sept. 15, 2016: Dan Boyden, third year physics graduate at Northern Illinois University, is hoping to be sent to Switzerland to work hands-on for DUNE, an international particle experiment including more than 140 labs and universities across 27 countries.
A theoretical species of particle might answer nearly every question about our cosmos—if scientists can find it.
From The Washington Post, Sept. 8, 2016: When it comes to cyclotrons, former Fermilab scientist Timothy Koeth, now at the University of Maryland, is a mixture of promoter, preacher and sorcerer. Fermilab physicist Todd Johnson contributes to the Post article.
Many theories predict the existence of magnetic monopoles, but experiments have yet to see them.
