Nuclear and Particle Physics

In the Bonner-Lab we are trying to understand the most elementary constituents of matter.
We attempt answer questions such as:

•  How did the universe come to be?
•  Are there undiscovered principles of nature?
•  Why are there so many kinds of particles?
•  Do all the forces become one?

We do so by participating in the experiments that are underway to study these (and other) questions.
These include:

•  STAR at RHIC which is used to study the quark gluon plasma. We are working on a time of flight system,  
     which is studying the quark gluon plasma
•  The DZero Experiment at Fermilab. The experiment which discovered the top quark continues to make
     important contributions to particle physics.
•  The CMS  experiment at the LHC, the next generation particle physics experiment.  We have designed  
     and built a variant of electronics boards for the real time analysis of data.
•  The CLAS experiment at Jefferson Lab.
