From The Beacon-News, Aug. 5, 2018: PIP-II Project Director Lia Merminga discusses the importance of PIP-II to science and the importance of international partnerships to PIP-II.
PIP-II
From Meteoweb, July 26, 2018: Il Fermi National Acceleratory Laboratory (Fermilab), uno dei più importanti centri per la fisica delle particelle degli USA, ha registrato un importante traguardo.
Fermilab’s Lia Merminga talks to Symmetry about her early experiences in STEM and her drive to solve science’s unanswered questions.
PIP-II, a particle accelerator project for generating intense neutrino beams, has achieved an important milestone.
Over the last year, the Booster accelerator has been hitting record highs in beam delivery, meeting or exceeding the increased needs of all of the lab’s beam-based experiments.
Fermilab’s partnership with the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre in Mumbai, India, recently bore its first fruit: preproduction magnets designed and built at the India laboratory. The magnets were installed and tested at the Fermilab PIP-II Injector Test Accelerator in late March.
A new radio-frequency quadrupole, designed and built by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, will help provide intense, focused beams to the entire Fermilab accelerator complex.
The Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II, is a proposed project to improve Fermilab’s particle accelerator complex with a major hardware overhaul and a powerful boost in its capabilities.
