Fermilab news
Engineer Farah Fahim awarded $2.5M to advance AI-on-chip for data processing
The U.S. Department of Energy awarded Farah Fahim an Early Career Research Award to investigate how deploying neural networks and machine learning on a particle detector can allow data processing at source. Her work could make data processing at detectors more efficient, improving fundamental research at physics facilities like the LHC at CERN.
Fermilab and INFN sign 3 agreements
Fermilab executed three international agreements in June with the National Institute for Nuclear Physics, known as INFN. The three agreements are related to Fermilab's Short Baseline Neutrino Program, the PIP-II particle accelerator and the EuPRAXIA advanced accelerator project.
The odd(eron) couple
Scientists discovered a new particle by comparing data recorded at the Large Hadron Collider and the Tevatron.
DUNE prototype detector ArgonCube crosses the globe
The first module of the prototype pixel-based neutrino catcher developed for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment is on its way to Fermilab from the University of Bern.
Fermilab's Jay Theilacker wins award for technical contributions, leadership from Cryogenic Engineering Conference
The Cryogenic Engineering Conference has awarded Jay Theilacker the 2021 Samuel C. Collins Award. Theilacker is the Cryogenic Sector head in the Applied Physics and Superconducting Technology Division at Fermilab.
A minute with Aleksandra Ćiprijanović, astrophysicist
Whether in Serbia or Chicago, Fermilab postdoctoral researcher Aleksandra Ćiprijanović is working to unlock the secrets of the night sky. As a member of the Deep Skies Lab, an international collaboration of physicists, she's figuring out how to use artificial intelligence and machine learning to better handle the huge amounts of data needed for discovery science.
