Northern Illinois flourishes as accelerator R&D hub under Fermilab leadership
…PIP-II Injector Test Facility, a proving ground for the future heart of the lab’s accelerator complex, its PIP-II accelerator. A number of these studies are being conducted as part of…
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…
Patty McBride is next CMS deputy co-spokesperson
…Mellon, she received her doctorate at Yale University and a postdoc at Harvard University. She started at Fermilab in 1994 and worked on a number of experiments and in various…
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….
