The High Energy Physics team maintains robust research initiatives in particle accelerator studies. Scientists at Kansas State are instrumental in developing the silicon vertex detector for D0's upcoming upgrade at Fermilab, while currently examining data from cutting-edge proton-antiproton collisions in the previous D0 project. To stay at the forefront of energy research, they're deeply engaged in preparations for the CMS experiment being built at CERN.
The group also excels in neutrino research. K-State researchers play significant roles in data interpretation and computational modeling for KamLAND, as well as the planned Double CHOOZ and Braidwood projects. Team members lead Braidwood's background analysis team and Double CHOOZ's real-time monitoring group, while spearheading local investigations to enhance future developments for these neutrino experiments.
