First results from Fermilab's Muon g-2 experiment strengthen evidence of new physics
The first results from the Muon g-2 experiment hosted at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory show fundamental particles called muons behaving in a way not predicted by the Standard Model of particle physics.
The next supercollider
What does it take to envision and build a seemingly impossible particle accelerator? The results of these discussions will shape the next 100 years of particle physics research.
New computing algorithms expand the boundaries of a quantum future
To fully realize the potential of quantum computing, scientists must start with the basics: developing step-by-step procedures, or algorithms, for quantum computers to perform simple tasks. A Fermilab scientist has done just that, announcing two new algorithms that build upon existing work in the field to further diversify the types of problems quantum computers can solve.
Fermilab and Argonne promote opportunities for small businesses
On March 17, Fermilab and Argonne hosted a virtual "Doing Business with Your National Labs" meeting. The event drew nearly 200 diverse small business leaders who came to hear about how to prepare and submit proposals for contracts.
Searching for stealthy supersymmetry
U.S. CMS physicists from Fermilab and associated universities collaborating under the umbrella of the LPC make up a team that is the first to perform a new kind of search for "stealthy" supersymmetry that does not result in an obvious signature of large energy imbalance. Instead, the LPC team is looking for collisions that result in an unusually large number of particles in the detector. CMS recently published a briefing explaining their analysis.
The mystery of the muon's magnetism
A super-precise experiment at Fermilab is carefully analyzing every detail of the muon's magnetic moment. The Fermilab Muon g-2 collaboration has announced it will present its first result at 10 a.m. CDT on April 7.
