Fermilab Frequently Asked Questions About the Higgs Boson
From Symmetry Breaking: Scientists put detectors to the test, a few particles at a time
At the Fermilab Test Beam Facility, scientists from around the world line up to test new detector technologies that will help shape the future of particle physics. Whether experimenters need a few pions or lots of protons, the FTBF can deliver: It offers the only high-energy hadron test beam in the United States. It is […]
Ghosts in the tunnel
Visitors ramble where electrons will one day whizz: a large number of people working at DESY and the European XFEL were treated to a rare trip underground into the recently completed but still completely empty tunnel for the European XFEL. And empty tunnels make for good images. Read more about the European-XFEL tunnel
Quantum Beam Project being readied for launch
The Quantum Beam Project at KEK’s Superconducting Test Facility is being prepared for start-up. On 27 February, scientists successfully produce and extract the beam from the RF-gun.

Japanese civil engineers visit DESY and CERN
A delegation from the Japanese Society of Civil Engineering visited the European labs CERN and DESY this month to learn about how the laboratories run their projects. They are pictured here about to enter the tunnel under construction for the European XFEL. Read more about the visit in a future issue of ILC NewsLine.
