Mobilizing Brazilian scientists for DUNE June 28, 2018 Ronald Shellard, director of the Brazilian Center for Research in Physics, discusses the past, present and future of Brazil-Fermilab scientific collaboration.
Three Fermilab scientists receive DOE Early Career Research Awards June 21, 2018 The award is designed to bolster the nation’s scientific workforce by providing support to exceptional researchers during the crucial early years, when many scientists do their most formative work.
New laser technology shows success in particle accelerators June 21, 2018 The addition of a laser notcher to the Fermilab accelerator complex is an innovative use of familiar technology.
Richard Bonventre wins 2018 URA Tollestrup Award June 20, 2018 Bonventre receives the annual award for his “creative and resourceful contributions” to the Mu2e experiment.
Waiting for a sign June 19, 2018 Some scientists spend decades trying to catch a glimpse of a rare process. But with good experimental design and a lot of luck, they often need only a handful of signals to make a discovery.
The secret to measuring the energy of an antineutrino June 18, 2018 Fermilab’s MINERvA experiment gives a boost to the particle physics field by sharpening a model of a frequent, pesky phenomenon.
Fermilab, United States contribute to major upgrade of the Large Hadron Collider June 15, 2018 A groundbreaking ceremony at CERN celebrates the start of the civil-engineering work for the High-Luminosity LHC. Fermilab is leading the U.S. contribution to the HL-LHC, in addition to building new components for the upgraded detector for the CMS experiment.
Fermilab develops forefront accelerator components for the High-Luminosity LHC June 14, 2018 When complete, the HL-LHC will produce five to seven times more proton-proton collisions than the current LHC — thanks in part to important collider components contributed by Fermilab.
Liz Sexton-Kennedy takes on role of Fermilab chief information officer June 13, 2018 Sexton-Kennedy remembers watching “Powers of Ten” when she was in middle school. The film explores physics at the very largest cosmological scales all the way down to elementary particle physics and ignited her interest in the field.
A boon for physicists: new insights into neutrino interactions June 8, 2018 Physicists on the MicroBooNE collaboration at Fermilab have presented their first collection of science results at the international Neutrino 2018 conference in Germany.
