Physicists in the United States were left without access to one of the most significant installations a few days ago, when the Tevatron particle accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), in Batavia, Illinois, was closed down on September 30, 2011.
After serving the cause of modern physic... |

While conducting collisions at the Tevatron, physicists from Fermilab discovered what could very well be a new elementary particle. Interestingly, the existence of this particle was not predicted by the Standard Model of Particle Physics. The discovery was made as experts at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory,... |

The United States will most likely enjoy the benefits of housing the second-most powerful particle accelerator in the world for another three years, say a group of physicists that recently made the recommendation. The panel was to decide whether to propose an extension to the Tevatron program, or if they should recom... |

Officials at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) announced today that the shutdown planned for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will indeed stretch for more than a year. Initially, they announced that the particle accelerator would only be closed throughout 2012, but it would appear that the extent o... |

Ever since the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was under construction, the Batavia, Illinois-based Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) began to work extra-hard on finding the elusive Higgs Boson. This elementary particle would complete and firmly prove the Standard Model in physics, which now features two cl... |

Shortly after managing to fix the helium leaks that forced engineers to shut down the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) last September, project managers discovered another fluke. This time, they identified two areas of vacuum leak, in regions of the particle accelerator that needed to be cooled near absolute zero. The new ... |

At this year's annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Chicago, swords have been drawn. Through the voices of Director Pier Oddone, and colleague Dr. Dmitri Denisov, Fermilab announced that it could beat the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)'s Larg... |

A TV documentary film directed by Clayton Brown and Monica Ross will be aired today on PBS, presenting the lives of the scientists from the American Fermilab laboratory in Illinois. "The Atom Smashers," as the saga movie is called, tries to reveal the real, human aspects behind the "talking heads" that are usually sh... |

The fact that the Large Hadron Collider is shut down until next year doesn't mean that discoveries in the field of quantum particle physics aren't deployed anymore. As such, researchers operating the old Tevatron device from the American Fermilab laboratory in Batavia (Illinois) stumbled upon a strange new ... |
