Theoretical Physicist Named 2017 Fermilab Distinguished Scholar

John Beacom, professor of physics and astronomy, director of the Center for Cosmology and AstroParticle Physics (CCAPP), is one of three theoretical physicists named a 2017 Distinguished Scholar by the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, or Fermilab, the largest particle accelerator facility in the U.S. The two-year appointment gives Beacom both an affiliation with Fermilab, and the same research opportunities and support as its own scientists.
