The ProtoDUNE detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment are behemoths in their own right.
Two new exchange programs aim to build bridges between European institutions and Fermilab.
State-of-the-art facilities in particle physics, nuclear physics and light sources are setting increasingly demanding requirements for the accelerators that drive them.
From CERN Openlab, Nov. 22, 2017: Physics data reduction helps ensure researchers gain valuable insights from the vast amounts of particle collision data produced by CMS. Fermilab scientist Oliver Gutsche and colleagues will look at investigate techniques based on Apache Spark, a popular open-source software platform.
Successful physics collaborations rely on cooperation between people from many different disciplines.
As the lab builds an international neutrino science portfolio, new partnership agreements have been signed with institutions in six countries.
From York University, Oct. 17, 2017: This is the first such agreement Fermilab has signed for the experiment with a university outside the United States, and York is the only Canadian university currently involved in the international DUNE collaboration spanning 31 countries.
On Oct. 1, 1992, a letter of intent was submitted to the LHC Experiments Committee, officially marking the formation of the CMS collaboration. A new experiment at CERN was born.
