collaboration

Fermilab directors and technicians were at Unicamp recently as part of the technical visit schedule of the research program for neutrino identification called LBNF/DUNE. The Brazilian team is developing the technology for photodetection of the light generated by the particle detectors and the production of highly pure liquid argon.

As the Quantum Science Center prepares to move forward into the next era of research, QSC Director Travis Humble highlighted the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit developed at Fermilab as a significant accomplishment.

A NEWTON project is in partnership with Argonne and Fermilab to develop a practical approach to reduce the size and cost of superconducting linear accelerators while simultaneously improving their reliability.

Argonne and Fermilab were granted the funding as part of ARPA-E’s Nuclear Energy Waste Transmutation Optimized Now program to design a compact, cost-effective accelerator that can transmute long-lived nuclear waste into safer material.

Sowjanya Gollapinni has been elected as the new co-spokesperson for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, succeeding Mary Bishai. Gollapinni is a senior scientist and the Neutrino Group Leader at Los Alamos National Laboratory and has been involved with DUNE since 2015. Now, she will co-lead the project to its next stages of development.

Fermilab and Diraq announced a multi-institution collaboration to develop a novel quantum sensor platform for high-energy physics named Quandarum.

Fermilab is finalizing a partnership with Diraq and several universities for the Quandarum project. The project team intends to combine extreme environment electronics and silicon spin qubits to develop a quantum sensor that could profoundly impact the field of high-energy physics.

Researchers at Argonne have made a significant breakthrough in the field of high-energy particle detection. The research team made superconducting nanowire photon detectors with different wire sizes and tested them with a beam of 120 GeV protons at Fermilab.

Over 100 accelerator scientists, engineers and particle physicists gathered at Fermilab last fall for the first of a new series of workshops to discuss the future of beam-cooling technology for a muon collider.

The Chicago Plan Commission approved plans to transform a former steel mill site into a cutting-edge quantum computing park known as the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park. PsiQuantum will construct the large facility, aiming to develop a one-million-qubit utility-scale quantum computer. The park will be affiliated with the University of Illinois but will also have partners including Fermilab, Argonne, the Chicago Quantum Exchange and many Chicago universities.
