The High Energy Physics team explores the fundamental building blocks of matter and their interactions. Our experimental researchers participate in cutting-edge particle and phenomenon investigations (including Higgs boson, leptoquarks, supersymmetry, and violations of lepton/CP symmetry) through collaborations like D0, muon g-2, mu2e, and DUNE at Fermilab, plus the ATLAS project at CERN. We're also developing advanced detectors for potential future lepton colliders. Theoretical physicists focus on supersymmetry, collider physics, dark matter phenomenology beyond the Standard Model, and complex multi-loop calculations for particle masses in both Standard Model and extended theories. Our location near Fermilab and Argonne's accelerator facilities significantly boosts our research potential. Detector development initiatives are coordinated via NICADD. For deeper insights into particle physics, embark on a Particle Adventure and explore its cosmological connections.

IELTS 6.5
Qualification Requirements
Students seeking admission to the Ph.D. program in physics must have a background equivalent to that attained by acquiring the B.S. degree in physics at NIU. Although applicants are not required to submit scores other than the GRE General Test score required for admission to the Graduate School, the submission of scores from the GRE Subject Test in physics could enhance their application. An applicant whose native language is not English must present an IELTS score of 6.5 or alternatively, a TOEFL score of at least 80 on the TOELF ibt. Normally, to be considered for admission, a non-U.S. citizen shall have completed a four-year undergraduate degree. A minimum 2.75 overall GPA on a 4.00 system or a 3.20 GPA with 15 or more semester hours of graduate work at an accredited institution.
