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…

Fermilab’s 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…

Experiment uses quantum techniques to stimulate photons, enhancing search for dark matter

…used a qubit to do both, preparing a quantum state of light that stimulates the creation of photons, and then using the qubit to probe the exact number of photons…

TOTEM and DØ collaborations announce odderon discovery

…“This result probes the deepest features of the theory of quantum chromodynamics, notably that gluons interact between themselves and that an odd number of gluons are able to be “colourless”,…

MICE experiment demonstrates key technique for future muon colliders

…energy for the creation of new particles. One measure of the discovery potential of an accelerator is luminosity, which quantifies how many collisions happen per second. For a given number…

Safety in robots: Mu2e’s automated handler

…direct conversion into an electron, and for this it needs to make a lot of muons. In fact, the number of muons researchers need to see (nearly 1 billion billion,…

NOvA turns its eyes to the skies

…The number of muons is affected by atmospheric conditions, and the total number of muons reaching underground detectors is higher in the summer. Summer’s less dense atmosphere favors the production…
