Research Area

Experimental High Energy Physics

The KSU HEP group includes five faculty, four postdoctoral research associates, and a dozen graduate and undergraduate students. Its research focuses on hadron collider physics and R&D in future linear collider and neutrino experiments. For more information about our group, see www.phys.ksu.edu/hep.

My past experimental research has been mainly in the areas of heavy quark and neutrino physics. I was a member of the teams that made the first measurements of charm particle lifetimes and that made the first observation of the tau neutrino. More recently, I have done hadron collider physics with the DZero detector at Fermilab. My present interest is in the oscillations of one neutrino species to another, in particular in using electron antineutrinos from a nuclear reactor to measure the probability for the rarest of these oscillations.
