Martin Bentivengo manages maintenance at the laboratory, is involved in diversity and outreach initiatives, and talks to high school kids about pursuing STEM fields.
From Physics Today, Aug. 23, 2016: Here are six reasons to believe that neutrinos might provide the window into new physics that the LHC has not.
It’s the cornerstone of cosmology, but what is it all about?
From Nature, Aug. 19, 2016: The next steps for particle physics now seem less certain, as discussions at the International Conference on High Energy Physics (ICHEP) suggest. Much hinges on whether the LHC unearths phenomena that fall outside the standard model of particle physics and whether China’s plans to build an LHC successor move forward.
Tooting our horn: Fermilab has the most expertise in constructing neutrino horns, which focus the particles that eventually decay into neutrinos. Learn how they work.
Fermilab’s house photographer of almost 30 years, Reidar Hahn, shares four of his most iconic shots.
From Science News, Aug. 11, 2016: Particle physicists, including Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer, scrutinize latest LHC results to refine knowledge of the Higgs boson’s properties.
Fermilab’s TRAC program helps middle and high school teachers turn lab experiences into lessons or exercises for their students.
From Berkeley Lab, Aug. 9, 2016: DESI, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, will measure light from 35 million galaxies to provide new clues about dark energy. Fermilab is a collaborator on the Berkeley Lab project.
