ANL Research Highlights
The turn on date for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is now weeks rather than years in the future. With this machine, we expect to make major breakthroughs in our understanding of the mechanism(s) of electroweak symmetry breaking, and the associated massive hierarchy between the masses we observe in nature, and the scale at which quantum effects become apparent in gravity. It may be that the LHC will also directly probe new sources of CP violation, and stable neutral massive particles that could be, respectively, the sources of the matter/anti-matter asymmetry in the universe, and of the abundance of dark matter measured in astrophysics experiments. Cosmology and particle physics are likely to unite in unique ways in this LHC era.
I am interested in building and studying the collider implications of such extensions of the standard model. In particular, I have studied extra-dimensional extensions of the standard model, as well as so-called "little Higgs" models of electroweak symmetry breaking. I am interested in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model as well.
