PIP-II

After six years contributing to the Proton Improvement Plan-II, Boffo now takes the reins as project director for the major enhancement to the Fermilab accelerator complex.

highlighted nuclear scientist, Elina Mishra from Bhubaneswar on International Women’s Day. Mishra and her team designed and developed several focusing quadrupole magnets and beam steering dipole corrector magnets for the 800 MeV Proton Improvement Plan (PIP-II) program at Fermilab.

A massive 95-metric ton coldbox that completed a cross-ocean journey from France to Batavia, Illinois was moved across the Fermilab campus this week.

Fermilab engineers escorted a 209,000-pound coldbox into its new home at Fermilab as part of a new particle accelerator project aiming to better understand the building blocks of the universe.

The coldbox, a vital piece of Fermilab’s new linear accelerator, is on a two-month voyage from France to its new home in Batavia, Illinois. It will be at the heart of the cryogenic system for the lab’s upgraded accelerator complex.

The PIP-II accelerator upgrade project at Fermilab officially completed its subproject dedicated to the early stages of facilities construction.

A team at Fermilab have built a prototype of a superconducting cryomodule for the Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) project. The cryomodules will comprise the last section of the new linear accelerator, or linac, that will drive Fermilab’s new accelerator complex.

Pantaleo Raimondi’s illustrious career brought him to some of the world’s most prestigious particle physics institutions. In January, Raimondi continued this journey as he took over the role of project director for Fermilab’s newest, more powerful particle accelerator.

The Science and Technology Facilities Council has built an ISO Class 4 cleanroom at the Fermilab to accommodate cryomodules for the PIP-II particle accelerator.

The Indian Department of Atomic Energy is helping set up the new Proton Improvement Plan II project at Fermilab. India has reached a crucial milestone and is moving from the research and development phase to the construction phase. The transition strengthens the scientific partnership between India and U.S.
