Wrocław University of Science and Technology joins global collaboration in signing PIP-II planning document with Fermilab

Polish university will contribute cryogenic distribution system for the PIP-II project, an upgrade of Fermilab’s accelerator complex.

Caldwell manufactures transport frame for cryomodules

From Engineering Update, January 6, 2022: Illinois-based Caldwell Group Inc. has customized a lifting frame that may be used in the summer of 2022 during transatlantic transportation of cryomodules to Fermilab for the Proton Improvement Program II (PIP-II) project. STFC-UKRI in the UK designed and assembled the lifting frame to meet impact, vibration, lifting, and transport load requirements in both the United States and Europe.

Ten ways Fermilab advanced science and technology in 2021

Researchers from more than 50 countries collaborate with Fermilab to develop state-of-the-art technologies and solve the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time. Take a look at 10 ways Fermilab and its partners advanced science and technology in 2021.

Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm visits Fermilab

The Secretary of Energy toured America’s premier particle physics and accelerator laboratory and discussed cutting-edge research on neutrinos, accelerators, quantum information science and more.

Over a year later, construction continues to progress on PIP-II Cryoplant Building

A little over a year into construction, the structure of the building that will house the cryogenic equipment for the PIP-II particle accelerator is largely complete.

A minute with Olivier Napoly, accelerator physicist

Olivier Napoly has worked internationally on a variety of accelerator and collider projects. At Fermilab, he works as a guest scientist, helping to build the PIP-II particle accelerator. As an accelerator physicist, Napoly focuses on every aspect of PIP-II’s construction from design to assembly.

PIP-II’s international engagement is the secret of success

From CERN Courier, September 27, 2021: Fermilab’s Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) is relying on international collaborations to shape the future of accelerator-based particle physics in the U.S. Lia Merminga and Eduard Pozdeyev provide an insider take.

The Cryogenic Society of America has awarded Benjamin Hansen its Award for Excellence in Cryogenic Operations and Support. Head of Fermilab’s Cryogenics Operations Department, he received the award for his leadership maintaining and operating six helium cryogenic test facilities.

Fermilab’s new ASPIRE fellowship for underrepresented students aims to develop the next generation of accelerator engineers

A new fellowship created by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory will provide engineering students in underrepresented groups in STEM immersive learning experiences on world-leading particle accelerator projects at Fermilab, starting with the new PIP-II accelerator that will power the world’s most intense neutrino beam. Applications for 2022 open September 2021.

Successful tests pave the way for Fermilab’s next-generation particle accelerator
