Jonathan Bagger is continuing his studies of supersymmetry and supergravity. In addition to his more formal work on the interconnection between string theory and field theory he has also been investigating the phenomenology of supersymmetry at high energy colliders.
Raman Sundrum does research in the areas of extra dimensions, supersymmetry, strong interactions, and gravity. The focus of this research is on discovering new field theory mechanisms that can address some of the central problems of particle theory, such as the Hierarchy Problem and the Cosmological Constant Problem, and also identifying how these mechanisms may be tested in experiments and observations.
David Kaplan's main research interest is on physics beyond the standard model of particle physics. He constructs models which may explain the existence and the size of the electroweak scale (and therefore the masses of nearly all fundamental particles) and analyzes their implications for collider and other experiments. He uses effective field theory techniques and applies them to models with supersymmetry, extra dimensions or other symmetry extensions to the current framework. He is also interested in the applications of these techniques to cosmological models and in general particle physics implications for cosmology and vice-versa.
Gabor Domokos and Susan Kovesi-Domokos are working on the physics of the highest energy neutrinos, which are expected to be emitted from exotic astronomical objects, such as active galactic nuclei and gamma ray bursters. To obtain more information about their research click on their names.
Adam Falk is working primarily on the phenomenology of heavy hadrons, although his interests extend to CP violation, electroweak symmetry breaking, and physics beyond the Standard Model. Systems containing bottom and charmed quarks will be the focus of intense interest over the next decade, with the advent of a new generation of B meson experiments at SLAC, KEK, Cornell, Fermilab and CERN. Falk's work is oriented toward the theoretical interpretation of these exciting and difficult experiments. |

Barry Blumenfeld is a member of the CDF and CMS Collaborations. He is the leader of Frontier, a widely-distributed system to provide data-base information to remote compute nodes for both experiments.
Andrei Gritsan is a member of the BaBar and CMS Collaborations. He has studied several types of B => VV decays (V is a vector meson). The angular correlations in the final states provide insight into the heaviest elementary particle interactions in virtual loops and provide the best approach to the measurement of the CKM angle a. Gritsan also develops the methods of alignment of the silicon vertex detectors and is interested in searching for new phenomena at the LHC.
Petar Maksimovic's interests revolve around b-hadrons. On CDF, he studies the production, decay, and properties of B mesons and b-baryons. Recent work has focused on Bs mixing, searches for excited mesons and baryons (B**, Lambda_b*, and Sigma_b), the measurement of the lifetime of Lambda_b baryon, and the understanding of fragmentation. At CMS, he plans to turn these studies on their head and use the understanding of decay and production of b-hadrons gained from B physics in the measurement of the energy of fast b-quarks originating from decays of the Higgs boson and the top quark.
Morris Swartz is a member of the CMS Collaboration. He spends his time modeling the silicon pixel sensors used in the CMS pixel tracking system and using his model to produce optimal offline reconstruction and simulation codes. He is keenly interested in searching for manifestations of supersymmetry and extra-dimensions at the LHC. |
