Ten ways Fermilab advanced science and technology in 2024
…magnets to strongly focus the proton beams and increase the number of collisions. Fermilab innovations were crucial to making these high-field magnets possible. 6. Strengthened our leadership in quantum information…
The biggest little detectors
…particle interaction and converting it into electrons, multiplying their number and so amplifying the signal’s strength as the electrons travel down the tube. With two tricked-out detectors, the DUNE collaboration…
Department of Energy awards Fermilab $3.5 million for quantum science
…experience in conventional computing and networks, we can advance quantum science in directions that not many other places can.” As part of a number of grants to national laboratories and…
Scientists advance their vision for a muon collider
…the toughest technological challenges in colliding muons is condensing them to increase the number of collisions in the collider. Muons scatter after they are generated. Condensing the muons is like…
Large Hadron Collider upgrade project leaps forward
…number by a factor of 10. This increase in luminosity — the number of proton-proton interactions per second — means that significantly more data will be available to experiments at…
Waiting for neutrinos
…particle accelerators. But they haven’t been able to study them in supernovae, where the number of neutrinos produced is simply off the charts compared to other sources. “This is the…
MINERvA successfully completes its physics run
…A number of neutrino experiments investigate this mystery, including Fermilab’s NOvA experiment and the upcoming international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, hosted by Fermilab. To be as successful as possible, these…
DOE Under Secretary for Science Paul Dabbar visits Fermilab to discuss quantum program
…Science Paul Dabbar visited Fermilab. The main focus of the visit was Fermilab’s rapidly advancing quantum science and technology program. Fermilab’s quantum program includes a number of leading-edge research initiatives…
Turning up the luminosity: Fermilab contributes important CMS upgrades
Fermilab is developing and testing a revolutionary particle detector concept, one that will enable the CMS detector at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider to handle 10 times the number of particle…
Neutrino 2020 kicks off June 22
…a.m. Central time on June 22 and run through July 2. The change has allowed triple the typical number of participants to sign up for the conference and resulted in…
