Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is a DOE national laboratory in Batavia, Illinois, focused on particle physics and accelerator science.
About Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory
Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory's research explores fundamental particles and forces through accelerator-based experiments, neutrino science, and collaborations with international research teams. Fermilab also develops accelerator technology and operates computing and test infrastructure. DOE sponsors the laboratory; Fermi Forward Discovery Group, a partnership of the University of Chicago and Universities Research Association, manages it. Its programs include neutrino science, particle astrophysics, accelerator research, and superconducting technologies. Fermilab hosts major national and international experiments, develops accelerator improvements such as PIP-II, and maintains computing infrastructure for scientific collaborations. Its research is aimed at fundamental questions about matter, energy, space, and time.
