The CMS experiment at CERN is building a new detector that will unravel the chaotic particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider, helping scientists identify particles based on their speeds.

The SuperCDMS collaboration has reached a critical milestone of cooling to its operating temperature, allowing scientists to begin calibrating the experiment’s detectors to prepare for the first search for dark matter. A team from Fermilab helped calibrate detectors for the world’s most sensitive search yet.

Fermilab has contributed vital components to the SuperCDMS experiment, located deep underground in a nickel mine outside of Sudbury, Canada.

Scientists are continuing a groundbreaking study of superconducting microwire single photon detectors, or SMSPDs. These ultrasensitive devices show great promise for particle physics research of the future.

A state-of-the-art experiment at Fermilab is one step closer to collecting experimental data with the completion of a laser laboratory that houses its advanced laser systems

At Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, postdoctoral researcher Ryan Linehan explores the intersection of quantum information science and particle physics by studying how particles impact superconducting quantum devices. Linehan’s work helps advance both quantum computing and dark matter detection.

The MUonE experiment at CERN could search for dark matter particles in addition to studying the muon’s magnetic moment.

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

A trio of Lederman fellows at Fermilab are developing ways to use quantum technology to probe the universe for dark matter and other physics phenomena. While doing so, they are sharing their enthusiasm for their work to inspire the next generation of scientists.

Celebrate International Dark Matter Day by joining a live Q&A session through YouTube with physicists from Fermilab at 11 a.m. Central Time on Wednesday, Oct. 30. Additionally, a dark matter-themed trivia event will be held in Batavia, Illinois on Oct. 28.
