Claire Lee works for the US-CMS collaboration at CERN. When she’s not taking shifts in the CMS control room, ensuring the detectors are functioning properly and safely, she takes guests on tours and teaches them about the amazing particle physics investigated by the variety of experiments there.

Bishai and Bertolucci lead the 1,400-member collaboration of scientists and engineers of the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab.

To build the DUNE neutrino experiment and its associated accelerator upgrade, experts invent customized ways to transport fragile, expensive and highly specialized components.

SAGE camp, a week-long summer program designed to educate and enlighten underrepresented students interested in STEM, becomes established at the lab.

The quest to understand the small mass of neutrinos is also a quest to discover new particles.

Teresa Nightengale joins the lab as chief financial officer bringing more than 35 years of experience. In her role as CFO, she will be responsible for all budgeting, accounting, payroll, finance and procurement systems at Fermilab.

The 10-meter-long cryomodule, part of the PIP-II particle accelerator project at Fermilab, is now undergoing testing to validate all its components and finalize its design. In a few years, Fermilab and international partners will produce four similar cryomodules that will propel particles in the new linear accelerator.

With his background building Bluetooth antennas, now Brian Vaughn applies his expertise to a multitude of different Fermilab projects. His favorite: building a superconducting cavity for the Main Injector.

The lab will co-host with Brookhaven National Laboratory the STEM-based summer program for first-year college students from underrepresented groups and underserved schools.

Scientists in the particle physics community are bringing environmental and climate issues to the table in discussions about future research.
