Fermilab user and University of Chicago PhD candidate Ihar Lobach explains how his team used Fermilab’s IOTA electron storage ring to glean insights that can be difficult to obtain on an electron beam and how this proof of principle could benefit the Advanced Photon Source Upgrade at Argonne National Laboratory.
From the CMS collaboration, Nov. 30, 2020: On Nov. 24, the CMS collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider announced the publication of the 1,000th paper in a peer-review journal, an exceptional achievement for a single experiment. Fermilab scientist Boaz Klima, CMS Publications Committee chair, is quoted.
On July 27, DZero submitted two papers to Physical Review D. One was published on Oct. 13, and the other was accepted for publication on Dec. 9. These two papers constitute a tie for the 499th and 500th publications by the DZero collaboration. It is a noteworthy accomplishment, and DZero has joined a select club.
We are happy to share with you the exciting news that yesterday CMS reached a major milestone by submitting for publication its 800th paper.
The Fermilab papers cover the GEANT4 simulation framework and the event generator PYTHIA.
This is a reminder that the Office of Science now requires explicit mention in the Acknowledgment section of Fermilab technical publications as below: Either: This manuscript has been authored by Fermi Research Alliance, LLC under Contract No. DE-AC02-07CH11359 with the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Office of High Energy Physics. Or: This document was prepared by [COLLABORATION NAME] using the resources of the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), a U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, HEP User…
We know that Fermilab has made an impact on our understanding of the universe, and while that may be difficult to measure, we can get some idea of its influence by surveying the most frequently cited papers our scientists have published.
Sometimes, physics papers turn funny.
PYTHIA, a program for simulating particle collisions and their byproducts, had 1,233 citations in 2016 and has 8,379 in total.
From the INSPIRE blog, Jan. 23, 2017: INSPIRE’s list of the 40 most highly cited papers during 2016 is out, and five are Fermilab papers. The number goes up if you include CMS papers. Have a look in this blog post by Fermilab’s Heath O’Connell and SLAC’s Michael Peskin.
