~100 trillion neutrinos zip through each person every second.
One billion neutrinos for each proton or electron in the universe

we must understand neutrinos

• It is everywhere, it is
five times more
abundant than matter. Galaxies are spinning too fast to be
held together by gravity of the stars

Vision of Fermilab
• Fermilab is going after the most exciting questions
in particle physics, the most interesting questions
about the nature and future of our universe.
• Fermilab continues to operate most of its existing
accelerators with enhanced capabilities and next
generation experiments (2010s)
• Fermilab will build new accelerators and
experiments for the future (2020s and beyond)

It is now a frontier
for expanding our knowledge of the universe.
The Great Plains were once a frontier
for the expanding United States.
