Martel Walls shares how he loves working with his hands and learning on the job.
From Wonderful Engineering, January 10, 2022: A video trip of the 17-ton superconducting magnet ring designed to be the focal point of Fermilab’s Muon g-2 subatomic particle experiment that was moved from Brookhaven, New York to Batavia, Illinois.
For Fermilab, 2021 was a momentous year that included major science results, construction progress, record-setting equipment, and more. Get a quick recap of some 2021 milestones in this video, which features drone and timelapse footage from around the lab.
From New Atlas, December 1, 2021: Neutrino research and other experiments may have new magnets to use in the future. Physicists at Fermilab have developed a superconducting magnet that can perform at high temperatures and higher field strength. Read more about the work of Vladimir Shiltsev and Alexander Zlobin.
Large, powerful magnets are a vital component of particle accelerators. The general rule is, the stronger the magnetic field, the better. For many particle accelerator applications, it is as important how fast a magnet can reach its peak strength and then ramp down again. A team at Fermilab now has achieved the world’s fastest ramping rates for accelerator magnets using high-temperature superconductors.
Just out of the reaction oven, coil QXFA132 (AUP) awaits further processing.
The night the Muon g-2 magnet ring arrived on site in July 2013, it traveled westbound on I-88 from I-355. The precision nature of the ring required that it be shipped in one whole piece that spanned four lanes of the interstate.
In July 2014, the Muon g-2 magnet ring moved to its new home on the Fermilab site, the then-brand-new MC-1 building. Scientists will announce the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at 10 a.m. CDT on April 7, 2021.
On July 23, 2013, the 50-foot-wide Muon g-2 magnet ring was on its way to Fermilab, where a crowd welcomed it on July 26, 2013. Scientists will announce the first results from the Muon g-2 experiment at 10 a.m. CDT on April 7, 2021.
