NOvA detector to sit under uniquely protective roof

In October 2009, the laboratory used about $400,000 in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds to purchase and transport about 1,200 tons of barite, a dense type of rock, from New Riverside Ochre Company Inc. in Cartersville, Ga.

• Large Hadron Collider

•  

The U.S. has contributed $531 million to the construction of the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle collider, located 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.

Doorways to Discovery

Status of research at Fermilab, January 2010.

CDMS opens the box, reveals results

Data recorded by the Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment shows two events that have characteristics consistent with the particles that physicists believe make up dark matter. However, these events may be consistent with background particles.

MicroBooNE receives CD-0

Fermilab has moved a step closer to constructing a new neutrino experiment. The Department of Energy has given Critical Decision-0 approval to a new booster neutrino experiment called MicroBooNE.

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.

Discovery of rare single top quarks

Scientists of Fermilab's CDF and DZero collaborations observed particle collisions that produce single top quarks, a discovery significant in the Higgs boson search.

Result of the Week

At Fermilab’s Tevatron Collider, physicists have been telling the story of their research results in weekly installments for more than five years.

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.

Muon Collider

A muon collider would allow for a new generation of experiments at the energy frontier.
