He resigned from Columbia and Fermilab in 1989 and taught briefly at the University of Chicago before moving to Illinois Institute of Technology, where he currently serves as the Pritzker Professor of Science.

The first detection of tau neutrino interactions was announced in summer of 2000 by the DONUT collaboration at Fermilab, making it the latest particle of the Standard Model to have been directly observed ; its existence had already been inferred by both theoretical consistency and experimental data from the Large Electron – Positron Collider.

In addition to the observation of the intermediate vector mesons, the CERN proton-antiproton collider dominated the scene of high energy physics from its first operation in 1981 until its close in 2002, when the Tevatron at Fermilab took over this role.

Several large pieces of sculpture found on Fermilab and designed by Wilson include Tractricious, a free-standing arrangement of steel tubes near the Industrial Complex constructed from parts and materials recycled from the Tevatron collider, and the soaring Broken Symmetry, which greets those entering the campus via the Pine Street entrance.

The tau neutrino remained elusive until July 2000, when the DONUT collaboration from Fermilab announced its discovery.

On July 2, 2012, scientists of the CDF and DØ collider experiment teams at Fermilab announced the findings from the analysis of around 500 trillion collisions produced from the Tevatron collider since 2001, and found that the existence of the suspected Higgs boson was highly likely with only a 1-in-550 chance that the signs were due to a statistical fluctuation.

Robert Rathbun Wilson ( March 4, 1914 – January 16, 2000 ) was an American physicist who was a group leader of the Manhattan Project, a sculptor, and an architect of Fermi National Laboratory ( Fermilab ), where he was also the director from 1967 – 1978.

Wilson wanted Fermilab to be an appealing place to work, believing that external harmony would encourage internal harmony as well, and labored personally to keep it from looking like a stereotypical " government lab ", playing a key role in its design and architecture.

She earned her physics PhD from Stanford University in 1982 and later worked at Fermilab in Chicago, before coming to Harvard.

After this he worked as a postdoc at Fermilab until 1988 and from then until 1991 at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics.

It is located at Fermilab, a few hundred meters away from the proton target, and approximately 100 meters underground.

However, the foundation of memetics in full modern incarnation originates in the publication in 1996 of two books by authors outside the academic mainstream: Virus of the Mind: The New Science of the Meme by former Microsoft executive turned motivational speaker and professional poker player, Richard Brodie, and Thought Contagion: How Belief Spreads Through Society by Aaron Lynch, a mathematician and philosopher who worked for many years as an engineer at Fermilab.

The top quark, which he and other physicists realized must exist according to the standard model, was, in fact, produced at Fermilab not long after this book was published.

* 1995 – Researchers at Fermilab announce the discovery of the top quark.

New experiments at Fermilab, however, seem to show that this imbalance is much greater than previously assumed.

All six flavors of quark have since been observed in accelerator experiments ; the top quark, first observed at Fermilab in 1995, was the last to be discovered.

In 1997 the CERN experiments were reproduced at Fermilab in the United States where a somewhat different cross section for the process was identified.

The top quark was found eventually in 1995 at the Fermilab in the USA.

Some fearful locals believed at first that the bison were introduced in order to serve as an alarm if and when radiation at the laboratory reached dangerous levels, but they were assured by Fermilab that this claim had no merit.

Asteroid 11998 Fermilab is named in honor of the laboratory.

Weston, Illinois was a community next to Batavia voted out of existence by its village board in 1966 to provide a site for Fermilab.

The high rise laboratory building located on the site, the unique shape of which has become the symbol for Fermilab, is named in his honor, and is the center of activity on the campus.

Fermilab was one of the potential sites for the Large Hadron Collider ( LHC ), which was eventually built at the Franco-Swiss border near Geneva, Switzerland and is also a potential site for the proposed International Linear Collider.

Fermilab continues to participate in the work in the LHC including serving as a Tier 1 site in the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid.
