From Phys.org, Jan. 25, 2023: Researchers at Fermilab, Northwestern University and Stanford University recently demonstrated an entirely new method for searching for meV dark matter. The group is testing a hypothesis that when the rest energy of a dark photon matches the energy splitting of the two lowest cyclotron levels, the first state of the electron cyclotron will be excited.
From CNET, November 13, 2022: View new photos of radiant galaxies released by NASA using the Dark Energy Camera, developed and tested by Fermilab, and the Hubble Space Telescope. These new images show galaxies scattered across the universe some 200 million light-years away.
In July 2014, the Muon g-2 magnet ring moved to its new home on the Fermilab site, the then-brand-new MC-1 building. Scientists will announce the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at 10 a.m. CDT on April 7, 2021.
My Ford Focus was parked (near this photo in front of Wilson Hall) on Wednesday, Jan. 22, before 5 p.m. The car that accidentally hit it has front left damage, and my car has rear right damage. Accidents happen, I understand. Please contact me. Call or text 630-404-1580. Thank you.
