#ICYMI: On March 2, 1995, the #TopQuark discovery at Fermilab was announced by scientists on the CDF and DZero collaborations, and the sixth and final quark was added to the Standard Model. We ask two members of the collaborations to reflect on this groundbreaking moment in particle physics. https://lnkd.in/gY4gqyQ8

Fermilab is America's particle physics and accelerator laboratory.
About us
Fermilab is America's premier particle physics and accelerator laboratory. Collaborating with scientists from around the world, we perform pioneering research, operate world-leading particle accelerators and experiments, and develop technologies for science in support of U.S. industry. Fermilab works on the world's most advanced particle accelerators and digs down to the smallest building blocks of matter. We also probe the farthest reaches of the universe, seeking out the nature of dark matter and dark energy. Fermilab's 1,750 employees include scientists and engineers from all around the world, and we collaborate with more than 20 countries on physics experiments based in the U.S. and elsewhere. Located in Batavia, Illinois, Fermilab is managed by Fermi Forward Discovery Group for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. Nestled on 6,800 acres in the beautiful Fox Valley, Fermilab’s campus setting offers an informal and stimulating environment with a long history and promising future committed to education, the environment and, of course, world-leading research in particle physics. Join the excitement that comes from discovering the mysteries of the universe! For information on joining the Fermilab team please visit - http://wdrs.fnal.gov/employ/index.html

The equation of the standard model of particle #physics is a messy one, incorporating all of the known subatomic phenomena. In this video, Fermilab’s Dr. Don breaks it all down. https://lnkd.in/gUJFv4Pq

Physicists refer to inflation as the period just after the Big Bang when space expanded exponentially in all directions, causing small quantum variations to expand to a cosmic scale. This ultimately led to the large-scale structure of matter in the universe that we see today in things like galaxy clusters.

#DidYouKnow that 99% of a supernova's energy is carried away by a burst of neutrinos? The core of the collapsing star is incredibly dense, but because neutrinos interact so rarely, they escape from the center even more quickly than the light does. Neutrino observatories will thus be the first places on Earth to see a supernova and can be used to direct optical telescopes to the right part of the sky to witness the arrival of the supernova’s light. #supernova #neutrino #physics #universe #space #astrophysics

Neutrinos are notoriously aloof, but it’s not entirely their fault. https://lnkd.in/gzm8i59m #neutrino #physics

In physics experiments, the background refers to all of the extra signals that a detector may pick up while it is searching for something unique. For example, a detector built to study a beam of neutrinos produced at an accelerator might also detect particles coming from space. Sorting the desired signal from the background is a crucial part of particle physics experiments.
