PIP-II Particle Accelerator Project

After joining Fermilab in 2020, Jacopo Bernardini was recently appointed level-3 manager for the 650-MHz cryomodules for the Proton Improvement Plan-II project. PIP-II is building a new, powerful linear accelerator that will create the world’s most intense beam of neutrinos for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. An amateur triathlete outside of work, Bernardini enjoys working with collaborators around the world as well as watching a design become reality.

During an event at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C., officials honored the successful collaboration between the United States and United Kingdom for building the PIP-II particle accelerator at Fermilab. The powerful new accelerator will be used to send a beam of neutrinos through the Earth for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Throughout this year, Fermilab’s dedicated scientists, engineers, technicians and operations staff came together to drive discoveries, advance American innovation and prepare the lab for a bright future.
