MicroBooNE, with its large neutrino detector at Fermilab, has wrapped up the data-collecting phase and will continue to conduct analysis under fresh leadership.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment’s innovative hybrid near detector will be a game changer. An active prototyping program over the last few years has been refining and validating the design of this smaller detector’s key element, a liquid-argon time projection chamber, and the data analysis tools and methods that go with it.

Fermilab sent its final contribution for the high-energy upgrade of the superconducting accelerator for SLAC’s X-ray laser, LCLS. The technology they developed will be transferred to industry for semiconductor-chip production and will be used in the Proton Improvement Plan-II, one of Fermilab’s flagship projects.

This past weekend, a new group of high school students graduated from the Saturday Morning Quantum program. Hosted by Fermilab, the course allows students to engage directly with lab quantum scientists and engineers while exploring core topics in quantum science.

Today is the official start of spring at Fermilab, with the arrival of the first bison calf to the lab’s beloved American bison herd.

Fermilab has contributed vital components to the SuperCDMS experiment, located deep underground in a nickel mine outside of Sudbury, Canada.

A partnership between the Quantum Science Center and the Quantum Systems Accelerator, two U.S. Department of Energy national quantum information science research centers, has enabled a breakthrough by Fermilab and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Researchers used cryoelectronics to control ion traps, a key step toward realizing scalable quantum computers.

John Byrd has been named director of the U.S. Particle Accelerator School. He succeeds Professor Steven Lund of Michigan State University, who has served as director since 2018.

The latest results combined weak lensing and galaxy clustering and incorporated four dark energy probes from a single experiment for the first time.
