The first components for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment have arrived in Lead, SD. Starting this spring the LBNF/DUNE project team and officials at the Sanford Underground Research Facility will begin tests to ensure cryostats for the experiment can be safely lowered down the Ross Shaft.
Scientists at Fermilab have received funding from the DOE Office of Technology Transitions and the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management to develop devices that generate particles to be accelerated in compact accelerators. The final result could be a machine for metal 3D printing and other applications.

The P5 Panel’s bold suggestion to build a muon collider in the U.S. could be a good opportunity to unite particle physicists from around the world to establish whether a muon collider is feasible, at what cost and discover who can contribute expertise and facilities.
A delegation of researchers from a dozen organizations in the U.K. met with Fermilab scientists. They saw firsthand Fermilab’s connection to the Illinois-Express Quantum Network.
Northern Illinois University Professor Nicholas Pohlman has obtained a Department of Energy RENEW grant to begin a program that brings students from underrepresented groups to Fermilab for research on magnets for particle accelerators.
