Fermilab Tour
Tuesday October 25th 2016 at 6:00pm-9:00pmFermilab Tour
Abstract
UniForum Chicago is proud to announce it has arranged for a special tour of Fermilab in Batavia, Iliinois on Tuesday, October 25th from 6:00-9:00 pm.
For those who attended our 2012 tour this will be an opportunity to see how Fermilab has evolved since then. For those who've never been there it will be a chance to see what America's particle physics and accelerator laboratory is all about.
The tour will include dsplays at Wilson Hall, Remote Operations Center for CERN, the new particle source RSQ Pre-Accelerator (which replaced the Cockroft-Walton Accelerator), Linear Accelerator, Main Control Room, the new Experimental Controls Center, and the Grid Computing Center. We will adjourn to a yet to be decided restaurant for an informal get-together after the meeting. That restaurant will hopefully be disclosed here at least a week before the tour.
It will not be a bus tour. We will transport ourselves around the Fermi campus by car and foot. The only identification that will be required will be a driver's license for those who will be driving.
The tour is free for members in good standing (ie. the member is up to date on dues) or $5/person for non-members which can be paid at the tour. You can join or renew your membership ahead of time online here: http://uniforumchicago.org/membership-info.html or we will accept check or cash at the tour.
We will be using the Meetup.com page for this meeting (http://www.meetup.com/UniForum-Chicago/events/234279735/) to collect a list of attendees for the tour. You must sign up before October 18th (one week before the event) and there is a cap of 40 attendees so it's better to sign up sooner than later. Each attendee must RSVP individually on the Meetup Page. If there is a reason that you can't add yourself as member to the UniForum Chicago Meetup Group and RSVP for the event, please use the Contact Us link to send us an email or call.
We will meet at Fermilab's Wilson Hall which is at Kirk Rd. and Pine
Street in Batavia at 6:00 pm. We will arrange travel groups
(carpooling) for within the complex and then the tour begins at 6:30pm.
At the present time they advise us to park to the far right of Wilson
Hall.

Fermi Lab's Vision and Mission:
Fermilab is America's particle physics and accelerator laboratory.
- Lead the world in neutrino science with particle accelerators
- Lead the nation in the development of particle colliders and their use for scientific discovery
- Advance particle physics through measurements of the cosmos
Our mission is to drive discovery by:
- Building and operating world-leading accelerator and detector facilities
- Performing pioneering research with national and global partners
- Developing new technologies for science that support U.S. industrial competitiveness
Getting To The Meeting:
The next general meeting of UniForum Chicago will be:
Fermilab
Wilson Hall
Kirk Road and Pine Street
Batavia, IL
