The PXIE Radio Frequency Quadrupole (RFQ) is an important component of Fermilab's ongoing accelerator research program. This component is on the leading edge of accelerator technology and will be an important aspect of the Fermilab accelerator research advancements.

On Monday, June 23, 2014 the MicroBooNE detector -- a 30-ton vessel that will be used to study ghostly particles called neutrinos -- was transported three miles across the Fermilab site and gently lowered into the laboratory's Liquid-Argon Test Facility. This video documents that move, some taken with time-lapse cameras, and shows the process of getting the MicroBooNE detector to its new home.

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

More than 7 cameras recorded the two year long process of constructing the world's largest self-supporting plastic structure, the NOvA experiment's far detector.

The Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and Northwestern University have established a new collaboration that enhances both institutions’ scientific research portfolios.
The Center for Applied Physics and Superconducting Technologies (CAPST) focuses on the science and applications of superconductivity, with expected advances in the fields of particle
physics, solid-state physics, materials science, medicine, energy and environmental sciences.
CAPST formally recognizes a broad intersection of scientific pursuits and complementary state-of-the-art facilities.
The center lays the groundwork for the cross-utilization of technical expertise, facilities, and equipment and establishes a partnership that will foster joint scientific research, mentorship, and new opportunities for researchers, graduate students, and postdoctoral
fellows.

The Dark Energy Camera is a 570-Megapixel digital camera being built at Fermilab. Once the mechanics of the support are tested and approved, the unit will be disassembled and shipped to its final assembly and mounting location at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. This time-lapse consists of 6 percent of the images captured from January through October of 2010. For information on this international project, see http://www.darkenergysurvey.org/index.shtml

The Linac Coherent Light Source at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Laboratory is an X-ray laser that allows scientists to take snapshots of atoms and molecules in motion, revealing fundamental processes in materials, technology and living things. Its strobe-like pulses are just a few millionths of a second long, and a billion times brighter than previous X-ray sources. Fermilab is providing SLAC with 22 cryomodules for the LCLS-II upgrade, which will take X-ray science to the next level, opening the door to a whole new range of studies of the ultrafast and ultrasmall.

Linda Bagby keeps Fermilab's neutrino experiments grounded. As an engineering physicist and electrical coordinator for Fermilab’s short-baseline neutrino program, she integrates the electronic subsystems into an experiment where all the electronics work together. You might find her cheerfully fielding questions in Wilson Hall, taking painstaking measurements at one of the detector sites or meticulously inspecting equipment at a test site.

A new camera for the South Pole Telescope, called SPT-3G, will aid scientists in creating the deepest, most sensitive map yet of the cosmic microwave background, allowing them to peer more closely into the era of the universe just after the Big Bang.

The hunt for the top quark at Fermilab was heating up in 1994 when scientist Mike Albrow and his colleagues on the CDF experiment felt they were close to cornering the last, undiscovered member of the quark family. Albrow tells one story about the lead-up to the discovery of the particle by CDF and DZero.

Science fiction sometimes borrows from science fact. In the movie “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” the writers blended multiverses and alternate realities with the real world Large Hadron Collider and the Compact Muon Solenoid. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln gives you the low-down on what is real and what is made up.

A story about the Fermilab bison herd, its history, purpose and genetic purity.

There is no more famous conundrum in special relativity than the Twin Paradox.  One twin travels at great distance at the speed of light and returns, much younger than the other twin.  Yet who is moving and who isn’t?  It is commonly claimed that acceleration is crucial to explaining this paradox, yet it turns out to not be the important point.  In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains the real answer to this perplexing puzzle.

CORRECTION: There is a typo in the video. At 10:23, it says that the x position for observer C at event II is γL, but it should be 2γL. Dr. Lincoln is suitably embarrassed and apologetic.

Do we live in a two-dimensional hologram? A group of Fermilab scientists has designed an experiment to find out. It’s called the Holometer, and this video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at the device that could change the way we see the universe. Find out more at http://holometer.fnal.gov.

The NOvA neutrino experiment is searching for the answers to some of the most fundamental questions of the universe. This video documents how collaboration between government research institutions like Fermilab, academia and industry can create one of the largest neutrino detectors in the world.

Now that the Large Hadron Collider has officially turned back on for its second run, within every proton collision could emerge the next new discovery in particle physics. Learn how the detectors on the Compact Muon Solenoid, or CMS, experiment capture and track particles as they are expelled from a collision. Talking us through these collisions are Claudia Fruguiele and Jim Hirschauer of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, the largest U.S. institution collaborating on the LHC.

The PIP-II project (http://pip2.fnal.gov) is an upgrade of Fermilab’s particle accelerator complex and includes the construction of a 215-meter-long linear particle accelerator.

PIP-II will become the new heart of the Fermilab accelerator complex. Its high-intensity proton beams will provide a flexible platform for the long-term future of the Fermilab accelerator complex and the U.S. accelerator-based particle physics program. The upgrade will enable Fermilab’s accelerator complex to create the world’s most intense high-energy neutrino beams, which will power the Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF). http://www.fnal.gov/dune
