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.

India’s Department of Atomic Energy is making a $140 million in-kind contribution to the PIP-II accelerator under construction at Fermilab. Indian institutions will provide a number of technical components for the new machine. The collaboration provides Indian scientists the training, technical insight and know-how for the development of their domestic particle accelerator program.

The United Kingdom will contribute superconducting cryomodules to Fermilab’s new particle accelerator. Collaborators shipped a fully equipped, 27,500-pound prototype from Fermilab to the U.K. and back to test the logistics.
