Particle detectors assembled in Kansas, tested at Fermilab, used at CERN
A University of Kansas project to design and build two next-generation particle detectors for the Compact Muon Solenoid experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider has been approved for funding through the U.S. Department of Energy. Detectors assembled in Lawrence will be tested at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and used at CERN to answer fundamental questions about matter.
