The Indian Institutions and Fermilab Collaboration Meeting was held at Fermilab from April 7, 2011 to April 9, 2011. Agenda and Talks are available here.
Pier Oddone,the director of Fermilab; Dennis Kovar, the DOE Associate Director for High Energy Physics; and Shekhar Mishra, the Fermilab scientist who has been our ambassador and the main organizer of the collaboration with India visited five indian national laboratories. Jerry Blazey, NIU professor on leave to the DOE’s Office of High Energy Physics, joined them for part of the visit.
Fermilab and Indian Institutions have been collaborating on high energy physics experiments since 1985. Indian scientists have made significant contributions to the Fermilab program. Several students have received Ph.D. under the Indian Institutions-Fermilab collaboration (IIFC).
The United States and Indian Universities & the Accelerator Laboratories management signed an overarching MOU on January 9, 2006 to extend the collaboration on accelerator development in both countries.
