accelerator technology

New, flexible power modulators give accelerator operators more precise control over particle beams.

Through its Quantum Information Science-Enabled Discovery program, DOE is awarding Fermilab researchers funding for five quantum-science initiatives. It also funds Fermilab’s participation in three further initiatives led by other institutions.

IOTA, the new test accelerator, gives researchers rich and varied opportunities to dive deep into the physics of particle beams.

From Meteoweb, July 26, 2018: Il Progetto PIP-II è un passo cruciale per la realizzazione del futuro esperimento DUNE che sarà realizzato nella struttura sperimentale a lunga distanza (LBNF) progettata dal Fermilab.

A Fermilab accelerator team has designed a device that chops accelerator-generated ion beams under highly demanding conditions.

PIP-II, a particle accelerator project for generating intense neutrino beams, has achieved an important milestone.

The France Chicago Center program has been successful at Fermilab, where the organization has supported four collaborations with a total of almost $60,000.

From ABC7 Chicago, June 10, 2018: Fermilab is featured on ABC show Built to Last, picked up by dozens of ABC affiliates. The 13-minute segment includes interviews with Tim Meyer, Valerie Higgins and Rhonda Merchut. Scroll to episode 5. Fermilab segment starts at 1:31.

The addition of a laser notcher to the Fermilab accelerator complex is an innovative use of familiar technology.

From Forbes, Jan. 24, 2018: Fermilab will provide half of SLAC’s LCLS-II cryomodules, and Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia, will provide the other half. Fermilab is located in Illinois, so the very first cryomodule that arrived at SLAC by truck last week made a hefty trip from Illinois to California – essentially making a trip across the whole of the U.S.
