«For the most part, I don't think departments are looking to grow their particle physics programs,» he says. (sciencemag.org)
Chu said that DUSEL is a key element in DOE's strategy to maintain a strong high - energy physics program at its Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) in Illinois after the Tevatron accelerator is shuttered this fall. (sciencemag.org)
«This groundbreaking and the massive underground excavation that will soon follow is a clear signal to the global science community that the U.S. is moving forward with its ambitious plan to host a global megascience project centered on elucidating the properties of neutrinos as a centerpiece of its high - energy physics program for the next two decades or more,» says David MacFarlane from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
