Cosmic rays observed in successful test of Fermilab’s prototype x-ray detector

    Fermilab scientist Juan Estrada recently took his novel Skipper detector technology to students in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at U of I run a thermal vacuum test for the DarkNESS mission. The test successfully demonstrated the crucial thermal control capabilities required for the detector operation.

    New PET detectors cut radiation down while leveling up resolution

      Fermilab is contributing to research on newly developed detectors in PET scanners with the Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the University of Chicago. They are working together to design chip technology capable of producing an inexpensive, highly usable readout of scan data that has the potential to reduce radiation dose by a factor of 1,000.

      Chicago is emerging as a quantum tech hub

        The Chicagoland region is continuing to be recognized as a national leader in quantum technology. Recent events include the opening of the Quantum Garage at Fermilab. This designation and the collaboration among Illinois universities and national laboratories like FermiLab and Argonne will spark a new wave of research, innovation and experimentation.

        Quantum Garage unveiled: Fermilab’s new Batavia facility holds promise to unlock universe’s secrets

          Fermilab opened a brand-new quantum laboratory known as the “Quantum Garage” intended to use quantum computing to expand the boundaries of science and engineering and find solutions to pressing challenges including national security, medicine and clean energy. The event on Nov. 6 was attended by officials from DOE, NASA and other national labs.

          Onel awarded grant from Fermi Research Alliance

            Fermi Research Alliance awarded Prof. Yasar Onel, from the University of Iowa, a grant to design a helium gas regulation system for neutrinos at the Main Injector beam monitors at Fermilab. The grant also allows for work on a gas regulation design study, prototype and consultation on a gas regulator system for the DUNE NuMI beam monitors.

            Chicago region designated U.S. Tech Hub for quantum technologies by Biden-Harris administration

              The Biden-Harris administration named the Chicago region an official U.S. Regional and Innovation Technology Hub for quantum technologies yesterday. The announcement was part of the first phase of a federal initiative designed to “supercharge” innovation economies that have the potential to become global leaders in critical technology. The Technology Hubs program includes the Chicago Quantum Exchange’s Bloch Tech Hub making them eligible for funding to implement the hub’s activities.

              Unicamp group visits, in the USA, one of the most important particle physics laboratories in the world

                From Unicamp (upon opening the link, right click to translate to English): Last week, directors and scientists from Unicamp (the University of Campinas) and other research institutions visited Fermilab as part of the critical assessment by DOE on the progress of the international collaboration in building the large underground neutrino detector at LBNF. The University is responsible for the development and subsequent production of two sets of central equipment that will make up the laboratory to be installed in South Dakota 1,500 meters underground. One of the sets will be used to detect photons and the other to purify liquid argon.
