Fermilab researchers utilize their knowledge of state-of-the-art accelerator technologies to help tackle needs for the medical device sterilization industry and beyond.

New Mexico-based artist Agnes Chavez will work with scientists at Fermilab to explore new ways to use data visualization, light, sound and space to communicate the importance and relevance of science, in particular research on particles called neutrinos.

The Short-Baseline Near Detector collaboration at Fermilab has started filling their detector with liquid argon. It’s one of the last steps before the detector sees its first particle tracks.

The Dark Energy Survey has measured the BAO scale when the universe was half its present age with an accuracy of 2%, the most accurate determination yet at such an early epoch. It is the first time an imaging-only measurement is competitive with large spectroscopy campaigns specifically designed to detect this signal.

Engineers at Fermilab work on a wide breadth and depth of technical work. This week, the laboratory celebrates their accomplishments and learns about new projects.

India’s Department of Atomic Energy is making a $140 million in-kind contribution to the PIP-II accelerator under construction at Fermilab. Indian institutions will provide a number of technical components for the new machine. The collaboration provides Indian scientists the training, technical insight and know-how for the development of their domestic particle accelerator program.

Mischa Zupko, adjunct faculty member of the School of Music at DePaul University, will collaborate with scientists at Fermilab and members of the Chicago-based Civitas Ensemble to create music based on scientific models in particle science.

Zorzetti’s research aims to help preserve quantum information by focusing on improvements to the way we transport it. The award provides $2.5 million over the next five years to support her work.

The Science Accelerating Girls’ Engagement in STEM program promotes diversity, equity and inclusion. The second annual SAGE camp at Fermilab provided women and gender minority students a hands-on opportunity to experience work and research. The next camp will take place in July.

The U.S. Department of Energy has given the green light for the U.S.-funded portion of the upgrades to the CMS experiment at CERN. The massive overhaul will prepare the experiment for the high-luminosity era of particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider.
