accelerator technology

A furry critter and its four-mile trek through an accelerator pipe comes to the lab’s rescue in its early days.

Tooting our horn: Fermilab has the most expertise in constructing neutrino horns, which focus the particles that eventually decay into neutrinos. Learn how they work.

The delivery of 50-MeV beam is the first step in establishing an accelerator R&D facility that will serve as one of America’s leading test beds for cutting-edge, record-high-intensity particle beam research.

A new radio-frequency quadrupole, designed and built by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will help provide intense, focused beams to the entire Fermilab accelerator complex.

Accelerator scientists are in demand at labs and beyond.

This year, the NSF is awarding grants to fund research on the development of bright beams at the University of Chicago and Northern Illinois University at a level of $680,000 and $560,000, respectively, for a three-year period.

Officials of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, near Chicago, and of the European Organization for Nuclear Research, CERN, in Geneva, announced today (Tuesday) the shipment of an advanced superconducting magnet from Fermilab to CERN.
