Description:

Fermilab is an American particle physics and accelerator laboratory dedicated to exploring high-energy physics. It leads the world in neutrino science with particle accelerators, leads the nation in the development of particle colliders and their use for scientific discovery, and advances particle physics through measurements of the cosmos. The laboratory’s 1,750 employees include scientists and engineers from all around the world. It collaborates with more than 20 countries on physics experiments based in the United States and elsewhere. Fermilab's 6,800-acre site is located in Batavia, Illinois, and is managed by the Fermi Research Alliance, a partnership of the University of Chicago and Universities Research Association, a consortium of 86 research universities, for the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. Fermilab builds and operates world-leading accelerator and detector facilities, performs pioneering research with national and global partners, and develops new technologies for science that support U.S. industrial competitiveness. Fermilab was founded in 1968.
