Arturo Gomez, leader of the observer support group at Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory–home to the Dark Energy Camera–speaks about working for more than 40 years at CTIO. English captioning is available.
Neutrinos are a mystery to physicists. They exist in three different flavors and mass states and may be able to give hints about the origins of the matter-dominated universe. A new long-baseline experiment led by Fermilab called NOvA may provide some answers.

Six days. Three frontiers. One amazing lab. From 2010 to 2012, a film crew followed a group of scientists at the Department of Energy’s Fermilab and filmed them at work and at home. This 40-minute documentary shows the diversity of the people, research and work at Fermilab. Viewers catch a true behind-the-scenes look of the United States’ premier particle physics laboratory while scientists explain why their research is important to them and the world.
What is a Higgs Boson?
An international group of scientists are designing an accelerator-driven system that could produce energy and recycle nuclear waste. Fermilab recently hosted physicists and engineers from around the world at a workshop on the applications of high-intensity proton accelerators to consider this idea and others. In this video, three attendees from Fermilab’s workshop discuss accelerator-driven systems.
Fermilab DZero experiment representative Michael Kirby explains the Dzero experiment and their search for the Higgs Boson.
Fermilab CDF experiment representative Barbara Alvarez explains the experiment and the search for the Higgs Boson.
This demonstration uses electric fields to accelerate a ping pong ball in a manner similar to an actual particle accelerator. Explained by Todd Johnson of Fermilab. (From fredatvisualmedia )
