The bottom quark may lead physicists on a path to new discoveries.
Installation has begun for the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, a next-generation astrophysics tool. Fermilab is managing key parts of the construction of the instrument, which will begin its five-year observation run in 2019.
From Forbes, Jan. 24, 2018: Fermilab will provide half of SLAC’s LCLS-II cryomodules, and Jefferson Lab in Newport News, Virginia, will provide the other half. Fermilab is located in Illinois, so the very first cryomodule that arrived at SLAC by truck last week made a hefty trip from Illinois to California – essentially making a trip across the whole of the U.S.
Scientists are using cutting-edge machine-learning techniques to analyze physics data.
A Fermilab team built and tested the first new superconducting accelerator cryomodule for the LCLS-II project, which will be the nation’s only X-ray free-electron laser facility.
Two new exchange programs aim to build bridges between European institutions and Fermilab.
Planning the next big science machine requires consideration of both the current landscape and the distant future.
Instead of searching for dark matter particles, a new device will search for dark matter waves.
Artificial intelligence analyzes gravitational lenses 10 million times faster.
