Apr. 27--In a big boost for Fermilab, a prestigious expert panel on Wednesday recommended that the federal government commit to building a multibillion-dollar particle accelerator on U.S. soil. With Fermilab emerging as this country's only national lab specializing in particle physics, that would make Illinois the facility's natural site, the report suggests. This would bolster the state's aspirations as a technology powerhouse, lift the local economy and resolve the question of Fermilab's future. At present the Tevatron located at Fermilab, near Batavia, is the world's most powerful particle accelerator. Scientists use the machine to ...
