Linac 4 will replace an older accelerator as the first step in the complex that includes the LHC.
DZero measures the weak mixing angle using the decay of a Z boson into two muons.
Undergraduates search for hidden tombs in Turkey using cosmic-ray muons.
Fermilab’s first Latin American scientists came to the lab in 1983, when four researchers from Brazil traveled across the equator to work on experiment E691. Carlos Escobar was one of them. It was the beginning of a collaboration spurred by a bold proposition by Director Leon Lederman.
Fermilab played the leading role in creating a new approach in cosmological research, one that involved the fusion of modern particle physics and astronomical cosmology.
At Fermilab, she’s an engineer that’s helping with a critical part of the Mu2e experiment. Outside Fermilab, she’s a rocker.
New research could tell us about particle interactions in the early universe and even hint at new physics.
Peoples will offer a sweeping retrospective on the pioneering machine, from its start as a fixed-target proton accelerator to its operation as a high-luminosity 2-TeV proton-antiproton collider.
Former engineering physicist Eddie Man-Wai Leung died on Aug. 1, 2016.
