Testing wraps up for first Fermilab-designed cryomodule for PIP-II accelerator
A Fermilab team has completed tests for a crucial superconducting segment for the PIP-II particle accelerator, the future heart of the Fermilab accelerator chain. The segment, called a cryomodule, will be one of many, but this is the first to be fully designed, assembled and tested at Fermilab. It represents a journey of technical challenges and opportunities for innovation in superconducting accelerator technology.
Fermilab names Kevin Pitts as chief research officer
Previously vice provost for undergraduate education and professor of physics at the University of Illinois, the new chief research officer will lead research on the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, advancing scientific excellence.
Two Fermilab employees receive DOE Secretary's Honor Awards
Fermilab Deputy Director of Research Joe Lykken and Fermilab Neutrino Division Head Steve Brice, recognized for their service to DOE's mission and the benefit of the nation, earn among the highest honors a Department of Energy employee or contractor can receive.
Nature's funhouse mirror: understanding asymmetry in the proton
