Tours and tutorials
INSS2023 attendees will have an opportunity to visit four world-leading experiments and facilities situated at the lab, led by guides who are currently working on those projects. They will also be offered the opportunity to attend a tutorial session specifically designed to help young researchers develop important skills.
Neutrino Campus Tours
Fermilab is the neutrino capital of the world. The lab's suite of experiments to study the subtle, elusive particle called the neutrino will aid humanity's understanding of the origin of matter, the unification of forces and the Big Bang. Before being detected, neutrinos from Fermilab experiments travel over short distances — several hundred meters — and over long distances — several hundred miles. Tours to the neutrino campus will be provided.
SRF and SC Magnet Facilities
Fermilab is a leading center for the development of high gradient superconducting RF cavities to drive particle accelerators, and the high-field superconducting magnets used to control and contain high energy particle beams. This tour will visit several of the main facilities used in the research, development and production of these technologies. If time permits, the tour will include a visit some of the quantum information system research facilities, which rely on the SRF technologies developed at the lab.
Social events
Attendees will have an opportunity to attend the following events:
- A welcome reception with light snacka and drinks
- A bar-b-que dinner at the Kuhn Barn in the Fermilab Village
- Special interest discussion on neutrinos and nuclear non-proliferation
