From Kane County Chronicle, July 31, 2018: The PIP-II accelerator upgrades are integral to the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, also known as DUNE, which is the largest international science experiment ever conducted on U.S. soil.
From The Beacon-News, Aug. 5, 2018: PIP-II Project Director Lia Merminga discusses the importance of PIP-II to science and the importance of international partnerships to PIP-II.
Fermilab’s Lia Merminga talks to Symmetry about her early experiences in STEM and her drive to solve science’s unanswered questions.
PIP-II, a particle accelerator project for generating intense neutrino beams, has achieved an important milestone.
Technicians take on maintenance and upgrades during Fermilab’s annual accelerator shutdown.
Over the last year, the Booster accelerator has been hitting record highs in beam delivery, meeting or exceeding the increased needs of all of the lab’s beam-based experiments.
When complete, the HL-LHC will produce five to seven times more proton-proton collisions than the current LHC — thanks in part to important collider components contributed by Fermilab.
Work has begun on an upgrade to the Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
