Research Focus:

Particle Physics

Experimental

Particle and Nuclear Physics research focuses on the fundamental constituents of matter, and their interactions, governed by the basic principles of quantum mechanics and special relativity.

Our major experimental effort focuses the Daya Bay Neutrino Oscillation Experiment, a high sensitivity search for nonzero mixing between the first and third lepton generations, as well as preparations for a long baseline neutrino experiment at DUSEL. We also have a program of experiments at Jefferson Laboratory, which focus on the structure of baryons involving exclusive reactions.
