The Scientific Instrument Facility
In the 1990s, BU’s Scientific Instrument Facility fabricated pieces of a vacuum chamber in the muon storage ring at the US Department of Energy’s Fermilab. SIF senior experimental machinist Jose Velho works on the chamber, sent back recently for modifications to improve its function in the lab’s search for physics beyond the Standard Model.
