Particle physics is an interesting field of science that is accessible to all audiences from 8 to 80.  In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln works with teenager Russell Farnsworth to craft a message that is aimed specifically at teens.  Be sure to watch the outtake at the end!

Building the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment requires people with many different skills. The DUNE collaboration now comprises about 1,000 people from more than 160 institutions in 30 countries. This video highlights some of these people and explains the discoveries that they hope to make: understanding the role that neutrinos play in the evolution of the universe; looking for neutrinos from a supernova; and searching for rare subatomic phenomena that could provide clues for realizing Einstein’s dream of a unified theory of the fundamental forces of nature. As of January 2017, the DUNE collaboration includes scientists from Armenia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Colombia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Greece, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Madagascar, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Romania, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, and the United States.

ProtoDUNE is a test bed for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment, an international physics project hosted at the Department of Energy's Fermilab. One of the ProtoDUNE detectors, which are being constructed at CERN, is a single-phase neutrino detector that uses liquid argon. It will require a number of anode plane arrays, special panels made of wire, to detect the signature of a neutrino interaction in the argon bath. This is a glimpse into the process of fabricating these planes, some of which are being created at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

Why I Love Neutrinos is a series spotlighting those mysterious, abundant, ghostly particles that are all around us. This installment features Professor Marvin Marshak of the University of Minnesota. For more information on neutrinos, visit the Fermilab website at http://www.fnal.gov.

A baby bison was born at Fermilab on April 20, 2017. Here is that story.

This 2-minute animation shows a virtual walk through the large caverns of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, which will house the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. To create the caverns for the huge DUNE particle detectors, construction crews will excavate more than 800,000 tons of rock a mile underground at the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. Scientists and dignitaries broke ground for this project on July 21, 2017. When construction is complete, DUNE scientists will send an intense neutrino beam through 1,300 kilometers of rock from the Department of Energy’s Fermilab to the DUNE particle detectors to understand the role that neutrinos – the most abundant matter particles in the universe – play in our cosmos. About 1,000 scientists from more than 160 institutions in 30 countries work on the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. More info is at http://dunescience.org

Many know Micky Dolenz for his work as an actor and musician for the Monkees – but he’s also a huge particle physics fan. Dolenz captured some 16mm footage during a 1970 visit to the burgeoning Fermilab, then known as the National Accelerator Laboratory. In 2018, Dolenz donated the footage to the Fermilab archives, along with a brief introduction to the material. Enjoy this glimpse of America’s particle physics lab in its infancy.

Dr. Dan Hooper, a Theoretical Astrophysicist at Fermilab, explores the current status of the dark matter search and some new thoughts on the nature of this mystery.

A signal of gamma rays has been observed from the center of the Milky Way, and it may be the breakthrough that we have long been waiting for. If these gamma-rays are in fact being produced by the interactions of dark matter particles, they promise to reveal much about this elusive substance, and may be a major step toward identifying of the underlying nature of our universe's dark matter.

Fermilab Dr. Greg Rakness is a Hero of the LHC for his work in organizing the commissioning and operations of the Compact Muon Solenoid, one of the two big LHC detectors.

A very large group of people gathered to watch the muon g-2 ring on its last leg of the big move from Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, NY to Fermilab in Batavia, IL.

The Mandela effect is an idea that people move between parallel universes. Its name arises because some people have firm memories of Nelson Mandela dying in prison, when in fact he was released and went on to be President of South Africa. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains to his pet Albert why this is such a silly idea.

Aria Soha was working on her very first shift as a particle accelerator operator when the machines appeared to suddenly lose their stores of particles. Rookie mistake or force majeure?

There's so much we still don't know about our universe and how it evolved into the place we call home. Why does matter exist all around us, and how do the tiniest particles fit into the big picture? A worldwide community has embarked on a journey to uncover the secrets of our world with the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. The project, powered by the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility, will send neutrinos from the host laboratory, Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois, to the Sanford Underground Research Facility in South Dakota. This video explores the excitement, the science, and the mysteries of DUNE.

On August 17, 2017, scientists using the Dark Energy Camera tracked down the first visible counterpart to a gravitational wave signal ever spotted by astronomers. Using data provided by the LIGO and Virgo collaborations, scientists embarked on a quest for the unknown, and discovered a new wonder of the universe. Includes interviews with Fermilab’s Jim Annis and Brandeis University’s Marcelle Soares-Santos.

In this 45-minute presentation Alex Himmel, Wilson Fellow at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, explains how neutrinos might provide the answers to many questions that scientists have about the universe. The neutrino is a type of subatomic particle. They are produced in copious quantities by celestial objects -- trillions of neutrinos from the sun will pass through your body while you read this sentence -- but they interact so rarely with other particles that only a handful will strike an atom in your body during your entire life. Yet these benign little particles can tell us about some of the most energetic processes in the universe. In order to detect these elusive particles, scientists build enormous particle detectors deep underground, using tanks full of liquid argon in an old gold mine as well as a cubic kilometer of Antarctic ice. In this talk Himmel works his way from the sun to galactic supernovae to the possible extragalactic sources of the highest-energy neutrinos ever observed. Himmel also answers audience questions from members of the Naperville Astronomical Association.

Particle physicists dedicate their lives to understanding the fundamental nature of energy, matter, space and time. Why do they do it? We asked them to explain, and a couple dozen bravely stepped forward to do it on camera. See more on http://www.symmetrymagazine.org

The Muon g-2 ring successfully completed its third and final night of offsite moving on July 25 and 26, 2013. A time lapse of the transporter wheel mechanism shows the independent movement. Some of the material has been sped up 6 - 8 x for the sake of brevity. For more information on Fermilab and the Muon g-2 experiment, visit http://www.fnal.gov.
