The timing characteristics of scintillators must be understood in order to determine which applications theyare appropriate for. Polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) and polyethylene teraphthalate (PET) are common plastics withuncommon scintillation properties. Here, we report the timing characteristics of PEN and PET, determined by excitingthem with 120 GeV protons. The test beam was provided by Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, and the scintillatorswere tested at the Fermilab Test Beam Facility. PEN and PET are found to have dominant decay constants of 34.91 nsand 6.78 ns, respectively.

The Institute of Particle Physics is preparing a proposal to design and build a 10 GeV electron–positron ring to study electron–proton collisions at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory using the 1000 GeV protons from the Tevatron. The design and operation of a high-power electron linear accelerator is very similar to the accelerating system in an electron–positron storage ring. This report describes the design of an rf system for the main ring which has many characteristics similar to that found in the Electron Test Accelerator at Chalk River. Discussion of quantum lifetime, the amplitude of synchrotron oscillations, and the consequent choice of the size of the beam aperture have led to the design of a new structure which operates at a higher frequency than that used in the large storage rings presently in operation.

The chapter “Midwest” explains about scientific and technological sites of adult interest in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin, including Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, National Model Aviation Museum, John Deere Company, The Henry Ford, Forest History Center, National Museum of the Great Lakes, and the University of Wisconsin Geology Museum. The traveler is provided with essential information, including addresses, telephone numbers, hours of entry, handicapped access, dining facilities, dates open and closed, available public transportation, and websites. Nearly every site included here has been visited by the authors. Although written with scientists in mind, this book is for anyone who likes to travel and visit places of historical and scientific interest. Included are photographs of many sites within each state.

The Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) is a worldwide effort to construct a next-generation long-baseline neutrino experiment based at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. It is a merger of previous efforts and other interested parties to build, operate, and exploit a staged 40 kt liquid argon detector at the Sanford Underground Research Facility 1300 km from Fermilab, and a high precision near detector, exposed to a 1.2 MW, tunableνbeam produced by the PIP-II upgrade by 2024, evolving to a power of 2.3 MW by 2030. The neutrino oscillation physics goals and the status of the collaboration and project are summarized in this paper.

The method of Novero–Predazzi is applied to a new ansatz with three constraints. Hadronic production cross sections σn(s) satisfying Koba–Nielsen–Olesen (KNO)-like constraints are determined; σn(s) and [Formula: see text] automatically have the KNO scaling property. The multiplicity distribution Pn obtained is identical with the empirical formula used by Bozóki et al. The generalization of the method is investigated for more than three constraints. Assuming a given energy dependence of the parameter in the KNO function, we find that all calculated higher moments ck of the KNO function are in excellent agreement with the observed values of ck – s for proton–proton (pp) interactions at Serpukhov, the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), and intersecting storage rings' (ISR) energies.A zero parameter empirical formula is presented, which gives good results at a 95% confidence level for pp interactions. This KNO function describes the multiplicity distributions e+e− at positron–electron tandem ring accelerator (PETRA) energies. We give a dynamical ansatz leading to this KNO function within the framework of a parton model.
