Fermilab

Fermilab is a United States national laboratory near Chicago that conducts research in particle physics and accelerator science. Its accelerators have supported major discoveries in particle physics and experiments using intense neutrino beams.

Muon g−2: An experiment measuring the muon's magnetic moment to test the precision of the Standard Model. Fermilab hosted the experiment's most recent major run, using a muon storage ring.
Fermilab accelerator complex: The chain of accelerators and beamlines that produces and directs high-energy particle beams at Fermilab. It is the infrastructure behind Fermilab's proton, muon, and neutrino experiments.
Robert R. Wilson: An American physicist who founded Fermilab and served as its first director. Wilson shaped the laboratory's design and established its early scientific culture.
Leon Lederman: An American experimental physicist who directed Fermilab from 1978 to 1989 and shared the 1988 Nobel Prize in Physics. His directorship guided the laboratory during the Tevatron's development and early operation.
Bottom quark: A quark discovered in 1977 at Fermilab's fixed-target experiment, with electric charge −1/3. Its discovery established a new heavy quark and helped complete the third generation of matter.
Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment: An international experiment studying neutrino oscillations with a near detector and a far detector in South Dakota. Fermilab leads the project and will send its neutrino beam toward the far detector.
Recycler Ring: A permanent-magnet storage ring at Fermilab used to accumulate and manipulate antiprotons and protons. It helped prepare intense beams for the Tevatron and continues to support proton delivery.
National Accelerator Laboratory: The original name of the U.S. laboratory now known as Fermilab, established in 1967. The institution began under this name before becoming Fermilab in 1974.
CDF collaboration: An international team that conducted collider experiments at Fermilab's Tevatron. CDF was one of the two collaborations responsible for the top-quark discovery.
Neutrino oscillation: The transformation of one neutrino flavor into another as neutrinos propagate. Fermilab's MINOS and later experiments measured oscillations with accelerator neutrino beams.
