Construction of world’s most sensitive dark matter detector moves forward
LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), a next-generation dark matter detector that will be at least 100 times more sensitive than its predecessor, has cleared another approval milestone and is on schedule to begin its deep-underground hunt for theoretical particles, known as weakly interacting massive particles, in 2020.
NIU joins DUNE project
From Northern Star, Sept. 15, 2016: Dan Boyden, third year physics graduate at Northern Illinois University, is hoping to be sent to Switzerland to work hands-on for DUNE, an international particle experiment including more than 140 labs and universities across 27 countries.
3-D galaxy-mapping project enters construction phase
From Berkeley Lab, Aug. 9, 2016: DESI, the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, will measure light from 35 million galaxies to provide new clues about dark energy. Fermilab is a collaborator on the Berkeley Lab project.

Why India matters
From APS News, July 2016: Indian scientists have made significant contributions to the Fermilab program, so it is natural that India is already taking a very active role in the development of a world-leading neutrino physics research program in the U.S. Fermilab scientist Vladimir Shiltsev co-wrote this article.
Upgraded PIP-II RFQ successfully takes first beam
A new radio-frequency quadrupole, designed and built by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will help provide intense, focused beams to the entire Fermilab accelerator complex.
Brazil in Batavia: How a timely invitation sparked 30 years of partnership
The Brazilian user community at Fermilab consists of nearly 80 researchers from 15 institutions working across 13 different projects and experiments.
Fermilab and Russia: four decades of scientific collaboration
The collaboration between Russian institutions and Fermilab in the 1980s became, for some, a symbol of two competing countries overcoming their differences and working together to move the field of particle physics forward.
