Our particle accelerator complex drives discovery at Fermilab. The accelerator operators are the heart of the complex, working 24/7 to ensure every machine is working at its most efficient. They understand and maintain some of the most complex devices ever made. This allows our scientists and experimenters to conduct the worlds most advanced research and discover the mysteries of matter, energy, space and time.

In this video, we’ll go behind the scenes with members of the team to explore how the accelerator operators work in support of advancing Fermilab’s mission every day.

The equation of the standard model of particle physics is a messy one, incorporating all of the known subatomic phenomena. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don breaks it all down.

Uncovering the mysteries of matter, space and time requires a beam of subatomic particles. Fermilab scientists and engineers used a complex system of magnets to create and store a beam of muons for their groundbreaking work on the Muon g-2 experiment. This allowed the team to achieve the world’s most precise measurement of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon.

Fermilab has long been one of the world’s preeminent centers of accelerator-based neutrino research. In this video, Dr. Don explains the Short-Baseline Neutrino Program (SBN) and what it hopes to find. Besides searching for an elusive theoretical particle called the sterile neutrino, SBN is also developing technologies and personnel to ensure that Fermilab plays a leadership role in neutrino research for the next several decades.

At Fermilab, the year 2023 brought many highlights: major science results, construction, ribbon cuttings, records and much more. Get a quick, 3-minute recap of our 2023 milestones in this video, which features footage from around the lab.
