Building something as complex as a superconducting cryomodule takes the efforts of an entire team of scientists, engineers and technicians. This picture was taken in January 2020 in Fermilab s Industrial Center Building at the end of the SSR1 cryomodule assembly. (Photo: Lynn Johnson, Fermilab)
There is a first time for everything. Sometimes that thing is a highly complex machine designed to accelerate an 800-million-electronvolt proton beam to enable decades worth of cutting-edge experiments at the United States foremost particle physics laboratory.
In January, scientists and engineers at the Department of Energy s Fermilab successfully completed phase-one testing on a prototype of the first superconducting cryomodule to be fully designed, assembled and tested at Fermilab for the PIP-II accelerator.
