Fermilab completes the first-of-its-kind prototype of a superconducting accelerator module

Technical staff at the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory have completed a prototype of a special superconducting cryomodule, the first of its kind in the world. The national lab is home of the Proton Improvement Plan II, or PIP-II, a project to upgrade Fermilab's particle accelerator complex.
