Project X is a proposed proton accelerator complex at Fermilab that would provide the particle physics world with powerful and sensitive tools to explore a new scientific frontier. This facility would provide particle beams to multiple experiments searching for rare and hard-to-detect phenomena that will further our understanding of fundamental physics.
Construction for Project X could begin in 2016 and be completed in 2021.

2012 Project X Physics Study
June 14-23, 2012
The Project X Physics Study engaged theorists, experimenters,
and accelerator scientists in establishing and documenting a
comprehensive vision of the physics opportunities at Project X, and
integrating these opportunities within a coherent plan for development
of detector capabilities and the accelerator complex.
