Fermilab hosts a broad experimental program spanning particle physics, neutrino physics, cosmology, quantum science, and accelerator-based research. Alongside these major experiments, the laboratory supports a vibrant ecosystem of detector research and development, where new ideas are translated into practical technologies for current and future experiments.
Detector R&D at Fermilab brings together scientists, engineers, technical staff, students, and global collaborators to develop new detector concepts, build custom instrumentation, test emerging technologies, and provide expertise across experiments and research programs.
The Detector Advisory Group helps coordinate Detector R&D activities across the laboratory and provides input to lab management on detector R&D priorities, opportunities, and stakeholder needs.
The Research Techniques Seminar Series highlights novel experimental techniques, instrumentation approaches, and detector technologies across particle physics and related fields.
We encourage members of the Fermilab community and external collaborators to get involved, share ideas, propose seminar speakers, and connect with ongoing detector R&D efforts.
