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.

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

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.

These two-minute animations break down the accelerator systems at Fermilab and CERN.

From Tecnomania, March 21, 2018: Esta animación muestra sobre unas bonitas imágenes aéreas el funcionamiento de los aceleradores de partículas del Fermilab –nombre coloquial del Laboratorio Nacional Fermi– que se construyó en 1967 en Illinois (Estados Unidos) hace ya la friolera de más de 50 años. Actualmente lo están «actualizando» y ampliando para llevar a cabo nuevos experimentos.

Planning the next big science machine requires consideration of both the current landscape and the distant future.
