Physicists publish worldwide consensus of muon magnetic moment calculation
…in terms of the dimensionless Landé factor, called g. While a number of international groups have worked separately on the calculation, this publication marks the first time the global theoretical…
Fermilab plants rare orchids to support population of endangered species
…the first batch of valuable seeds and will continue to supply seeds for another four years, increasing the number of flowers on the grounds and the number of sites where…
Fermilabβs newest accelerator delivers first results
…As part of the only dedicated ring-based accelerator R&D facility for high-intensity beam physics in the United States, IOTA is designed to develop technologies to increase the number of particles…
Modern modulators for Fermilab accelerators
…would work. It wasn’t obvious that it would. And we determined that, yeah, we can do it. Along the way we built a number of circuits with smaller numbers of…
An interaction of slipping beams
…rely on slip-stacking to achieve high intensities. Summary By stacking two separate, full-to-the-brim beams, researchers maximize the number of particles circulating through the ring. That’s good for creating high-intensity beams,…
Solid-state technology for big data in particle physics
…drives of 80 regular laptop computers. An automated selection process keeps only the important, interesting collisions, trimming the number of saved events from 40 million per second to just 1,000….
HL-LHC Accelerator Upgrade Project receives approval to move full-speed-ahead from Department of Energy
…crucial components. The new instruments will enable a giant leap in the number of particle collisions at the future HL-LHC, a 10-fold increase compared to the current LHC. The high-luminosity…
HiLumi LHC: full-scale tests start
…Hadron Collider upgrade at CERN. The newly developed and tested magnets will focus the beam at the CMS and ATLAS interaction points, increasing the number of collisions for the experiments…
CDF collaboration at Fermilab announces most precise ever measurement of W boson mass to be in tension with the Standard Model
…and theoretical inputs in the context of the Standard Model. “The number of improvements and extra checking that went into our result is enormous,” said Ashutosh V. Kotwal of Duke…
Lead lab selected for next-generation cosmic microwave background experiment
…itself – the detector technology has already been proven in earlier experiments, for example – but the scale at which the technology will be deployed, including the sheer number of…
