Fermilab explores new physics frontier

MAY 14, 2009
Physics Today
Chicago Pubic Radio : Researchers at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory seem poised to answer some of the most basic questions in science. But now, the focus of high-energy physics is moving away from Chicago’s western suburbs. Europe’s Large Hadron Collider is expected to dwarf Fermi’s collider into obsolescence. Fermilab now has to figure out how to keep up its prominence, its funding, its relevance. So scientists there are making a big pivot, training their sights on a new physics frontier.
