CERN

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is advancing technology commonly used in dark matter experiments—and scaling it up to record-breaking sizes.

From BBC Radio 4, June 28, 2018: In this radio piece, reporter Adam Rutherford explores the ProtoDUNE prototype detector at CERN. Segment begins at 7:10.

Lead atoms with a single remaining electron circulated in the Large Hadron Collider.

Machine learning will become an even more important tool when scientists upgrade to the High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider.

Making new discoveries may require writing new software first.

A program funded by the São Paulo Research Foundation supports scientists and students to engage with Fermilab’s neutrino program.

From Scientific American, June 6, 2018: Fermilab’s Don Lincoln explains the significance of scientists’ first observation of the famous Higgs boson, responsible for imparting mass, interacting with the heaviest particle in the universe.

Some scientists spend decades trying to catch a glimpse of a rare process. But with good experimental design and a lot of luck, they often need only a handful of signals to make a discovery.

A groundbreaking ceremony at CERN celebrates the start of the civil-engineering work for the High-Luminosity LHC. Fermilab is leading the U.S. contribution to the HL-LHC, in addition to building new components for the upgraded detector for the CMS experiment.

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.
