A new brochure, Particle Physics at the Intensity Frontier, explains the goals of fundamental research at the Intensity Frontier. It is a lay-language accompaniment to the scientific report detailing last year's Intensity Frontier Workshop.
What are the ultimate building blocks of reality? And what are the rules that govern them? Fermilab scientist Don Lincoln describes the Standard Model of particle physics, covering both the particles that make up the subatomic realm and the forces that govern them.
Technicians in Minnesota have completed the first blocks of the 14,000-ton NOvA neutrino detector. Check out the construction progress and watch our video about the mysterious behavior of neutrinos.
Fermilab's plan for the future outlines a diverse, world-leading research program that addresses the most important—and most challenging—questions related to research at the Energy, Intensity and Cosmic Frontiers.
The U.S. has contributed $531 million to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider and its particle detectors, located at CERN 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.
Fermilab's plans for creating a Muon Campus with top-notch Intensity Frontier experiments have received a big boost. The Department of Energy has granted Mission Need approval to the Muon g-2 project, one of two experiments proposed for the new Muon Campus.
At Fermilab, scientists work on particle physics science and technology that leads to a better understanding of the physics of the universe and practical benefits to society.
At the Illinois Accelerator Research Center scientists and engineers will collaborate with industrial partners on breakthroughs in accelerator science and translate them into applications for the nation's health, wealth and security.
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.
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 would allow for numerous experiments at the intensity frontier and would allow scientists to develop technologies for a future machine at the energy frontier.
Beacons of Discovery outlines the unprecedented opportunities for scientific discovery available to particle physics and the potential rewards of the world’s nations and regions working together to form a single scientific enterprise.
