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,…
SENSEI gets quiet
…can count the exact number of electrons in each pixel. In this test data, taken with a very long acquisition time, we plotted the measured charge in each pixel. The…
A minute with Brian Vaughn, electrical engineer
…out, we’ll be able to reduce the number of cavities needed to accelerate the beam by an order of magnitude, which is extremely beneficial for high-intensity beam stability. Having many…
Gina Rameika elected DUNE co-spokesperson
Gina Rameika Neutrinos have fascinated physicists like Gina Rameika for decades. Inspired by Ray Davis’ discovery that the number of electron neutrinos created by the sun did not match theoretical…
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…
Fermilabβs accomplishments highlight discovery and innovation in 2025
…to another record-breaking year for CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, the most powerful particle accelerator in the world. This year, CMS recorded a total integrated luminosity — the number of particles…
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…
