Particle physics is the study of the elementary building blocks of matter and radiation and their interaction. The fundamental particles are summarised by the standard model. This includes leptons ...

Experimental particle physics is the practical investigation of the fundamental components of matter and radiation. A crucial tool in the arsenal of the experimental particle physicist is the particle ...

Geodesic approach links quantum physics and gravitation It is something like the "Holy Grail" of physics: unifying particle physics and gravitation. The world of tiny particles is described extremely ...

Dark matter could be the result of fermions pushed into a warped fifth dimension. This theory builds on an idea first stated in 1999, but is unique in its findings. Dark matter makes up 75 percent of ...

The Martin A. Fisher School of Physics enjoys an international reputation for excellence in research, and is one of the highest-ranked of its size in the country. The department offers rigorous ...

One promising place to search for answers is inside radioactive nuclei. That is because the uneven arrangement of protons and neutrons can magnify the tiniest breaks in symmetry. If scientists are ...
