David Curtin's work in theoretical particle physics studies new ideas for fundamental particles and forces, to explain mysteries like the nature of dark matter, or the weakness of gravity. He collaborates closely with experimentalists, and is a co-founder and leader of the MATHUSLA experimental collaboration, which aims to build a specialized detector at CERN to find new invisible long-lived particles that may be produced at the Large Hadron Collider. David also leverages the newly discovered Higgs boson to look for new physics, by understanding its possible exotic decays into new particles, and its impact on cosmology during the Big Bang.

大卫科廷的工作在理论粒子物理学研究的基本粒子和力量的新想法，解释像暗物质的性质，或引力的弱点奥秘。他与实验学家密切合作，是MATHUSLA实验合作的联合创始人和领导者，该合作旨在在CERN建立一个专门的探测器，以寻找可能在大型强子对撞机上产生的新的不可见的长寿命粒子。大卫还利用新发现的希格斯玻色子来寻找新的物理学，通过了解它可能的奇异衰变为新粒子，以及它在大爆炸期间对宇宙学的影响。
