ATLAS result contradicts Fermilab's exciting hint of physics beyond Standard Model in 2022. Enlarge / Event display of a W-boson candidate decaying into a muon and a muon neutrino inside the ATLAS experiment. The blue line shows.....»»
Fermilab completes the first-of-its-kind prototype of a superconducting accelerator module
Technical staff at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have completed a prototype of a special superconducting cryomodule, the first of its kind in the world. The national lab is home of the Proton Improvement Plan I.....»»
It"s colossal: Creating the world"s largest dilution refrigerator
Fermilab is known for its massive experiments, and Colossus will fit right in. Researchers from the Fermilab-hosted Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center need lots of room at cold temperatures to achieve their goal of building a state-.....»»
PIP-II transportation test frame is ready for action at Fermilab
Cryomodules are essential components for the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's accelerator complex upgrade, known as the Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II......»»
New accelerator at Fermilab approved for construction start
The U.S. Department of Energy has formally approved the start of full construction for the PIP-II project, an essential upgrade to the accelerator complex at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. The heart of the project is a powerful new supercondu.....»»
Scientists assemble final detector of Fermilab"s Short-Baseline Neutrino Program
With a directive to look for physics beyond the standard model and study the behavior of the universe's most elusive particles, the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's Short-Baseline Neutrino Program has a full plate......»»

A ‘Last Hope’ Experiment Finds Evidence for Unknown Particles
Long-awaited news from Fermilab’s Muon g-2 team may resolve a tantalizing conflict between nature and theory. But a separate calculation clouds the picture......»»
Is the Standard Model of Physics Now Broken?
The discrepancy between the theoretical prediction and the experimentally determined value of the muon's magnetic moment has become slightly stronger with a new result from Fermilab. But what does it... -- Read more on ScientificAmerican.com.....»»
Fermilab’s latest muon measurements hint at cracks in the Standard Model
Only a 1-in-40,000 chance that combined results are due to a statistical fluctuation. Enlarge / The Muon g-2 particle storage ring, now housed at Fermilab. (credit: Cindy Arnold/Fermilab) The Muon g-2 experiment (pronounced “gee minus two”.....»»
Super-precise Fermilab experiment carefully analyzing the muon"s magnetic moment
Modern physics is full of the sort of twisty, puzzle-within-a-puzzle plots you'd find in a classic detective story: Both physicists and detectives must carefully separate important clues from unrelated information. Both physicists and detectives must.....»»
Random twists of place: How quiet is quantum space-time at the Planck scale?
Fermilab scientists have been conducting experiments to look for quantum fluctuations of space and time at the smallest scale imaginable according to known physics. At this limit, the Planck length, our classical notions of space and time break down......»»
Next-generation particle beam cooling experiment under way at Fermilab accelerator
Before researchers can smash together beams of particles to study high-energy particle interactions, they need to create those beams in particle accelerators. And the tighter the particles are packed in the beams, the better scientists' chances of sp.....»»
