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….
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…
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…
