Cristian Boffo, project director for Fermilab’s PIP-II project, discusses the progress made so far in Fermilab’s major upgrade to Accelerator Complex, and what this means for future discoveries. Set for decades of new discovery, Proton Improvement Plan II (PIP-II) is an essential upgrade to the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab) Accelerator Complex in Illinois, USA. The PIP-II is a journey from Illinois to a distant detector in the deep underground neutrino experiment (sand dunes) in South Dakota, taking a distance of 1,300 km (800 miles) into the world’s most intense high-energy neutrino beam. Additionally, the upgrade to the existing accelerator…
