The U.S. has contributed $531 million to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle collider, located in Europe. From the LHC Remote Operations Center at Fermilab, U.S. scientists will monitor the collisions produced by the machine.
More than 900 scientists from the U.S. work on the CMS experiment at the LHC. Sifting through proton-proton collisions, scientists may find signs for dark matter particles, new subatomic forces and perhaps extra dimensions of space.

Evidence for significant matter-antimatter asymmetry
Scientists at Fermilab's DZero experiment found evidence for significant violation of matter-antimatter symmetry.
Doorways to Discovery
At Fermilab, experiments give scientists the capability to address a broad range of questions about the basic physical laws that govern the universe.
Mu2e: On the Hunt for New Physics
Scientists at Fermilab hope to catch a glimpse of a muon turning into an electron, an incredibly rare process that would solve some long-standing mysteries regarding the interactions of these particles.
Building a Dark Energy Camera
Scientists wonder why the universe is expanding ever faster. What mysterious force is at work? By recording the light from hundreds of millions of galaxies, they hope to find out what's going on.
Result of the Week
At Fermilab’s Tevatron Collider, physicists have been telling the story of their research results in weekly installments for more than five years.
Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment
The proposed Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment will explore the transformations of the world's highest-intensity neutrino beam to find out what role neutrinos played in the evolution of the universe.
Project X
Project X would allow for numerous experiments at the intensity frontier and would allow scientists to develop technologies for a future machine at the energy frontier.
