Theoretical Particle Physics

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
