Experimental Research in Elementary Particle Physics

罗格斯大学粒子物理小组的这项工作主要集中在通过结合新的物理分析，仪器改进的探索和广泛的推广计划来提高大型强子对撞机CMS探测器的潜力。 研究主题包括理解最近发现的希格斯玻色子的性质，寻找超对称性，以及其他超越标准模型的新物理学的研究。该小组还将继续其在像素亮度望远镜（PLT）方面的领先努力，这是一种新型的基于金刚石的质子对质子相互作用速率监测器，位于CMS探测器附近的LHC束管周围。 罗格斯大学的研究小组还将参与Quarknet的外展活动，包括帮助新泽西的教师和学生部署一个大面积的宇宙射线探测器。

This work by the Rutgers particle physics group is mainly focused on advancing the potential of the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider by a combination of novel physics analysis, exploration of instrumentation improvements, and a broad outreach program. Research topics include understanding the properties of the recently discovered Higgs boson, searches for supersymmetry, and other searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The group will also continue its leading efforts in the Pixel Luminosity Telescope (PLT), which is a novel diamond-based proton-on-proton interaction rate monitor around the LHC beam-pipe near the CMS detector. The Rutgers group will also participate Quarknet outreach activities, including helping New jersey teachers and students deploy a large-area cosmic ray detector.
