The newest flagship building on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory campus, the Integrated Engineering Research Center (IERC), has been officially named the Helen Edwards Engineering Research Center in honor of the late Dr. Helen Edwards, a particle physicist at Fermilab for 40 years.
Helen Edwards was a towering figure in the world of accelerator science, renowned for leading the design, construction, commissioning and operation of Fermilab’s Tevatron accelerator. The Tevatron held the title of the world’s most powerful particle collider for 25 years and discovered the top quark in 1995 and the tau neutrino in 2000 — two of the three fundamental particles identified at Fermilab.
