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.

Second Fermilab muon experiment receives first-stage DOE approval
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.
Frontiers of Discovery
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.
Illinois Accelerator Research Center
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.
Building a Dark Energy Camera
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.
Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment
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
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
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.
