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.

戴维·科廷（David Curtin）在理论粒子物理学中的工作研究了基本颗粒和力量的新思想，以解释诸如暗物质本质或重力弱点之类的奥秘。他与实验者密切合作，并且是Mathusla实验合作的联合创始人和领导者，该协作的目的是在CERN建立专门的检测器，以找到可能在大型强子碰撞器上生产的新的无形长寿命颗粒。大卫还利用新发现的希格斯玻色子（Higgs Boson）来寻找新的物理学，通过了解其可能的异国情调腐烂成新粒子及其对大爆炸期间对宇宙学的影响。
