Fermilab

In 2024, Fermilab made significant scientific progress, including advancing preparations for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment and conducting groundbreaking quantum research. The laboratory also continued its strong international collaborations — including involvement with the CMS experiment at CERN — and made strides in developing emerging technologies with wide applications beyond physics. #Fermilab #DUNEscience #neutrino #quantum

Exciting update! 🚢 Recently, the #PIP2coldbox was offloaded from the barge in Illinois. The Proton Improvement Plan-II will power the Fermilab accelerator complex to provide neutrinos for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment to study. In parallel, the high-power proton beams delivered by PIP-II will enable muon-based experiments to search for new particles and forces at unprecedented levels of precision and a diverse physics program powering new discoveries for decades to come. Keeping the accelerating structures extremely cold is essential and the coldbox is at the heart of the cryogenic system. The cryogenic plant is being provided as an in-kind contribution from the Department of Atomic Energy in India, the single largest contribution for the PIP-II project. 🔗 Learn more and follow along with the journey: https://lnkd.in/gKmWFbVg #FutureofFermilab #DUNEscience #fermilab 📸: Barnhart Crane and Rigging

The coldbox, a vital piece of Fermilab’s new linear accelerator, is on a two-month voyage from France to its new home in Batavia, Illinois. It will be at the heart of the cryogenic system for the lab’s upgraded accelerator complex. #FutureofFermilab #PIP2coldbox Proton Improvement Plan-II https://lnkd.in/gE48jZBX
