collider physics

The National Academies of Science announced the result of a three-year study to set the vision for the next decades of particle physics. The study included a top recommendation to build a muon collider in the U.S. hosted at Fermilab.

To address the lingering questions of the Standard Model of Physics, particle physicists have been planning the next-generation colliders. Fermilab could be the site of a future muon collider, but future colliders will be the efforts of the international physics community.

What does it take to envision and build a seemingly impossible particle accelerator? The results of these discussions will shape the next 100 years of particle physics research.

Fermilab scientists have implemented a cloud-based machine learning framework to handle data from the CMS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Now they can begin to use graph neural networks to boost their pattern recognition abilities in the search for new particles.

It’s less of a collision and more of a symphony.
