AERIAL VIEW OF THE 16-STORY ADMINISTRATIVE HEADQUARTERS AT THE CENTRAL LABORATORY AREA.
FERMI LAB IS LOCATED NEAR BATAVIA, ILLINOIS, SOME 35 MILES WEST OF CHICAGO. THE LABORATORY, ENGAGED PRINCIPALLY IN HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS RESEARCH, IS OPERATED BY THE UNIVERSITIES RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., A CONSORTIUM OF 54 UNIVERSITIES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. ITS PRINCIPAL INSTRUMENT, ONE OF THE WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL ACCELERATORS, IS CAPABLE OF OPERATING AT 500 BILLION ELECTRON VOLTS. DEVELOPMENT OF THE ENERGY DOUBLER/SAVER NOW UNDER WAY WILL INCREASE THIS ENERGY TO 1,000 BILLION ELECTRON VOLTS WHILE DECREASING POWER CONSUMPTION. CURRENTLY, ACTIVITIES AT THE LABORATORY ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE PARTS: CONDUCTING A PHYSICS RESEARCH PROGRAM, IMPROVING THE OPERATION OF THE PRESENT FACILITIES, AND DEVELOPING MORE POWERFUL FACILITIES FOR FUTURE RESEARCH ACTIVITIES.

Fermi National Accelerator LaboratoryDas Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory oder kurz Fermilab ist ein Forschungszentrum für Teilchenphysik, das vom US-amerikanischen Department of Energy betrieben wird. Es liegt etwa 50 Kilometer westlich von Chicago in Illinois, auf dem Gebiet der Gemeinde Batavia und beherbergte von 1983 bis 2011 das Tevatron, das am 30. November 2009 vom Large Hadron Collider als energiereichster Teilchenbeschleuniger der Welt abgelöst wurde. .. weiterlesen
