Given a rich tradition in physics
and the legacy of legendary physicists …
Michelson, Millikan, Compton,.. to Fermi and beyond,
it should be no surprise that the University of Chicago
would have strong influence on this frontier laboratory
in the suburbs of Chicago.
10/31/172
The National Accelerator Laboratory
created in 1967,
renamed Fermilab in 1974,
opened a new frontier
in the exploration of matter and energy.
Pushpa Bhat | Fermi50 @ UChicago
UChicago’s connections with Fermilab dates back to the
beginning of the Lab:
UChicago was one of the charter members of the Universities
Research Association (URA) in 1967.
The Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) mentions the proximity
of many excellent universities in the mid-west including
UChicago as one of the reasons to select the Weston site.
George Beadle, the President of UChicago (1961-68) had a
committee (1967) on relationships between UChicago and NAL.
Throughout the past decades, many Fermilab scientists have
had joint appointments with UChicago, including our first
director, Bob Wilson.
Faculty at UChicago have held high positions at the Lab and
have influenced the research program at the Lab.
Strong and sustained connections

Transfer of Title for NAL site to AEC
10/31/174
The State of Illinois purchased the 6800 acre Weston site in Dec. 1966
and transferred the title to AEC on April 10, 1969.
The plaque handed to Glenn Seaborg, the Chairman of AEC by Illinois
Governor Richard Ogilvie reads,
“The people of Illinois proudly present their fertile acres and accomplished
talent to the nation for the development of a major laboratory devoted to the
peaceful exploration of nature by particle physicists.”
The plaque further declares that the new laboratory will be a “significant
cathedral for research and learning and an international house for
distinguished scholars.”
The Governor’s speech also mentions the first controlled nuclear reaction
“It was at Stagg Field on the University of Chicago Campus that the nuclear age was
born in 1942 with the first self-sustaining, continuous nuclear reaction.” “And now, the
construction of this 200 billion electron volt accelerator is a reaffirmation of that tradition
...”

Chicago Cyclotrons at Fermilab
The magnet yoke from the cyclotron built in
1935 by Professor William D. Harkins and
colleagues at the University of Chicago, used
by Fermi for neutron diffusion studies and
later in the Manhattan project. It was moved
to Fermilab in 1978.
Giant magnet of the Chicago synchrocyclotron,
built 1947-51. Moved to Fermilab in 1971.
Used in Fermilab experiment E-98.
Modified to superconducting in 1980’s. Used in
seven experiments. Decommissioned in 1991.

2nd Director of Fermilab(1978-89)
Successfully completed the Energy Doubler and the Tevatron Collider
Professor at UChicago(1989-90)

Enrico Fermi Award 1993
Jim Cronin One of his reasons to come to U Chicago in 1971
was the energy frontier machine that was being
built at the National Accelerator Laboratory.

the Fermilab Theory department in 1969
Subsequent professors included C.N. Yang and T.D. Lee.
Benjamin Lee was the Head of the Theory Department at
Fermilab and Professor at EFI at UChicago, 1971 -77.
Several theorists from the Lab have held visiting
professorships or joint appointments

In 2007, 40 years after Fermilab’s
inception, the University of
Chicago partnered with URA to
form Fermi Research Alliance and
took on a major role in the
management of Fermilab
URA had managed Fermilab,
since its inception, for 40 years.
UChicago has been managing the
Argonne National Laboratory
since its inception in 1946.
Great opportunities for stronger
ties and collaborations between
UofC, Fermilab, Argonne.
UChicago aims for Greater Impact: FRA

Fermilab reigned supreme, at the energy frontier, as the
world’s premier particle physics laboratory for decades. It is
making great strides at the intensity and cosmic frontiers.
It has a glorious past, having discovered three elementary
particles – the bottom quark, top quark and tau-neutrino. We
are building a vibrant future in which UChicago is playing a
critical role.
If we have the same passion for science, bold vision,
audacity to dream big, and an unflinching commitment, as did
Fermi and Wilson, the glorious past might just be a prologue
to a more exciting future.
