• Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL), located in Batavia, Illinois, near Chicago, is a United States Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory specializing in high-energy particle physics. FNAL aims to become a world center in neutrino physics. It is the host of the multi-billion dollar Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) now under construction. Ongoing neutrino experiments are ICARUS (Imaging Cosmic and Rare Underground Signals) and NO?A (NuMI Off-Axis ?e Appearance). Completed neutrino experiments include MINOS (Main Injector Neutrino Oscillation Search), MINOS+, MiniBooNE and SciBooNE (SciBar Booster Neutrino Experiment) and MicroBooNE (Micro Booster Neutrino Experiment). FNAL leads a direct experimental search for weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs). These experiments, deployed deep underground to shield from cosmic ray backgrounds, seek recoils of atomic nuclei from extremely rare collisions of dark matter particles. The range of most plausible theoretical models will be explored in the next few years. The current experiments searching for dark matter include SuperCDMS, SENSEI, LZ, ADMX, and OSCURA. FNAL is also working on Generation 2 (G2) dark matter experiments.
