HEP User Facilities

The High Energy Physics program supports the following national scientific user facilities:

Fermilab’s accelerator complex accelerates protons to high energies before sending them out to various experiments.

Fermilab Accelerator Complex

Fermilab Accelerator Complex consists of four accelerators that work together to provide world-class particle beams for experiments at the Intensity Frontier.

Users setting up their experimental apparatus for research involving terahertz radiation and dielectric structures.

Accelerator Test Facility (ATF)

The Accelerator Test Facility (ATF) provides users with high power lasers synchronized with high brightness electron beams, providing a testbed for exploring the science of particle acceleration and radiation generation, and for developing new accelerator technologies.

The working space for experiments at FACET.

Facility for Advanced Accelerator Experimental Tests-II (FACET-II)

FACET-II is an accelerator-based user facility where experiments in beam-driven plasma wakefield particle acceleration are carried out.
