Project Poltergeist led to the discovery of the ghostly particle. Sixty years later, scientists are confronted with more neutrino mysteries than ever before.
From NOVA, May 31, 2016: Inside the Fermilab particle accelerator, then Harvard undergraduate Sarah Demers, now a professor at Yale University, used an instrument to look on as protons collided at near light-speed with their opposites—antiprotons—and the resulting particle shards decayed after the cataclysmic blast.
Nobody at Fermilab knows the bison herd better than Cleo Garcia, who has worked at Fermilab for 14 years.
The delivery of 50-MeV beam is the first step in establishing an accelerator R&D facility that will serve as one of America’s leading test beds for cutting-edge, record-high-intensity particle beam research.
Neutrinos are a puzzling mixture of three flavors and three masses. Scientists want to measure it down to the last drop.
Fermilab’s partnership with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai, India, recently bore its first fruit: preproduction magnets designed and built at the India laboratory. The magnets were installed and tested at the Fermilab PIP-II Injector Test Accelerator in late March.
Fermilab’s annual Family Outdoor Fair will be held on Sunday, June 12, from 1-4 p.m.
From SLAC, June 1, 2016: Fermilab is one of the collaborating groups preparing to build an ultrasensitive ‘eye’ for an elusive form of matter.
Quantum physics says everything is made of particles, but what does that actually mean?
