I'm not sure if such transitory items as current projects should be included in what I believe is supposed to be a definition separate from time, and a long definition of the URA instead of leaving the link is peculiar, but in gratitude for what Blando728 has added to the document and in recognition of his grasp of the subject matter, I will defer to his judgement.

The links to the Minos and MiniBooNE projects are valuable. What is wrong with leaving them in. One the article becomes out of date someone will correct the reference. --67.175.192.187 05:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
- I agree. In fact, a section detailing the chronology of experiments at the lab would be quite good. This, along with a "Fermilab today" section, would be the proper place for such things as links to pages for the various experiments. -- Jon Wilson

[edit] Closing of femilab
I have been working for fermilab from past 10 years. I am proud to learn when I was in school that Encrio Fermi was an Italian. I am very grateful for fermilab as I landed in US with no technical background and a Laura in physics from Italy and I was offered a position as computer professional and a good pay. I learned C, UNIX and I fermilab also sponsored me a M.S and PhD from DePaul university and I just graduated. There are lots of Italians and everyone is very friendly and very helpful. It is a very nice place to work for Italians. The rumors about closing fermilab are not true. They should not close fermilab. Enrico Fermi had a great vision about alien existence and this can be proved only by more research into neutrino experiments. US Govt should fund more money to fermilab and help build ILC otherwise everybody will leave and go back to Italy and other European nations so Govt should give more money to Fermilab and should not close it.
[edit] ?
It looks like the Fermilab people are pushing really hard to be the site of the International Linear collider. It is possible that the Tevatron main ring could be used as an injector for the ILC?--Deglr6328 22:59, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, they are pushing hard for the ILC. They would almost certainly have to build new injector rings, though; the beam parameters are very different (for one thing, they'll be injecting electron beams, not protons). HEL 16:50, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
I heard fermilab was closing
- Haven't heard anything like that myself... HEL 16:50, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] i heard something interesting
i heard people are paid to live underground at the fermilab for 20 years. like an apocolypse thing. any truth to that? Spencerk 22:53, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- I highly doubt that Fermilab has the time and resource to carry out a 20 years confinement experiment in its basement. The speculation sounds more like a typical paranoid conspiracy theory. But I have no authority on the subject. Jumping cheese 23:46, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm pretty sure that is not true. I have worked here (fermilab (CDF)) for the last three summers. In fact, the first two of those three summers, I lived on site, in the Fermilab Village, so I spent nearly 24 hours every day on the lab grounds. I've never heard of anybody living underground here. Also, nobody says "The Fermilab". It is just "Fermilab", or "Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory".-- Jon Wilson
- It's not true at all. (I've worked at Fermilab and my father is a physicist there.) --Strait 15:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Wilson Hall Photograph
I'm visiting Fermilab tomorrow and will try to get a free photo to replace the copyrighted one. Hopefully I'll remember. Besselfunctions
So I got a couple of pictures. Besselfunctions 01:42, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Couple Questions
Why are there "moats" near the rings? Where do they get the power for the ring (which plant) and how much power does it use? --207.154.79.131 06:45, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
