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.
