Search for New Phenomena Using High Energy Hadron Collisions
Research Program:
I
am an experimental particle physicist whose interests lie in probing
the most basic interactions in nature. There now exists a theory of
the Strong and Electroweak interactions (“the Standard Model”)
that has been tested to high accuracy and that explains almost all
existing experimental data. The great success of this theory provides
a framework for asking even more basic questions: What is the physics
that generates quark and lepton masses? What determines the size of
the Fermi constant? What is the mechanism responsible for the CP
noninvariance observed in nature? It is such questions that my
collaborators and I hope to address.
Many extensions to the
Standard Model offer possible answers to these questions. In a large
class of theories we expect new phenomena to appear when quarks or
leptons collide at center-of-mass energies in the range of 100 GeV to
1 TeV. At the present time, hadron colliders are the only means of
reaching these energies.
