Anyone who has driven a car has an intuitive understanding of how velocities add. Two cars, heading towards one another head-on at a velocity, have a closing velocity of twice that velocity. It’s all very simple and yet at very high speeds this intuition is just wrong.

In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains how to add velocities in a relativistic environment. It’s weird and wonderful and mind-bending.

The Large Hadron Collider (or LHC) is the world’s most powerful particle accelerator.  In 2012, scientists used data taken by it to discover the Higgs boson, before pausing operations for upgrades and improvements.  In the spring of 2015, the LHC will return to operations with 163% the energy it had before and with three times as many collisions per second.  It’s essentially a new and improved version of itself.  In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don Lincoln explains both some of the absolutely amazing scientific and engineering properties of this modern scientific wonder.

The PIP-II project http://pip2.fnal.gov is an essential upgrade of Fermilab’s particle accelerator complex and includes the construction of a 215-meter-long linear particle accelerator. It is the first U.S. particle accelerator project with significant contributions from international partners. Research institutions in France, India, Italy and the UK will build major components of the new 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 generate an unprecedented stream of neutrinos—subtle, subatomic particles that could hold the key to understanding the universe’s evolution—by creating the world’s most intense high-energy neutrino beams. This capability positions Fermilab to be the world leader in accelerator-based neutrino research. It enables the scientific program for the international, Fermilab-hosted Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility (LBNF). http://www.fnal.gov/dune

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

More than 180 scientists from 32 institutions are working on the design and construction of the Mu2e experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. On April 18, 2015, the collaboration gathered for a groundbreaking ceremony at the lab. The discovery of the direct conversion of a muon to an electron would revolutionize scientists’ understanding of the symmetries underlying the building blocks of our universe and open the door to finding new particles and forces.

Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity, developed 100 years ago, predicts the existence of gravitational waves. In February 2016, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) became the first experiment to observe gravitational waves, created by two black holes spiraling into each other. The discovery became known as the chirp heard around the world. Four month later, a few hours before this public lecture, LIGO announced the discovery of a second signal. This lecture, given by Dr. Barry Barish, LIGO director from 1997 to 2006, explains the physics of gravitational waves, the detection technique used by LIGO, the observations made and the implications these discoveries have on our understanding of the cosmos.

Six days. Three frontiers. One amazing lab. From 2010 to 2012, a film crew followed a group of scientists at the Department of Energy's Fermilab and filmed them at work and at home. This 40-minute documentary shows the diversity of the people, research and work at Fermilab. Viewers catch a true behind-the-scenes look of the United States' premier particle physics laboratory while scientists explain why their research is important to them and the world.

Scientists included: Brendan Casey, Herman White, Craig Hogan, Denton Morris, Mary Convery, Bonnie Fleming, Deborah Harris, Dave Schmitz, Brenna Flaugher and Aron Soha.

Fermilab and Department of Energy officials broke ground on a new building that will house the Muon g-2 experiment. The new experiment will study the magnetic wobble of muons, and the core of the experiment—a 50-foot-wide electromagnet—will be transported this summer in one piece by barge and truck from Brookhaven National Laboratory in New York. The Muon g-2 experiment will be the first to use a new beam of muons from Fermilab's upgraded accelerator complex. A second experiment called Mu2e is also planned. Further information can be found at: http://muon-g-2.fnal.gov/

The experiments based at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland are undergoing a constant series of upgrades. Fermilab scientists Steve Nahn and Vivian O’Dell lead these upgrade efforts in the United States.

Particle physics research is both international and collaborative, with large national laboratories working together to most efficiently advance science. Joel Butler, Distinguished Scientist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is the leader of the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at the CERN laboratory in Europe. In this video, Joel tells us a bit about what it’s like.

Accelerator operators found themselves stuck at Fermilab when a fierce snowstorm hit in February 2011. Cindy Joe tells the story of how Fermilab staff rallied through the night while they waited out the blizzard.

Fermilab’s VetTech internship program seeks out military veterans for technical and computing positions across the lab. It puts their skills to work in a high-tech environment at America’s premier particle physics laboratory with an eye toward making them part of the team. The program, now in its third year, is a win-win for everyone. Learn more here: http://internships.fnal.gov/vettech.
