UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS

Department of Physics and Astronomy

Experimental Particle Physics Group

KU researchers are involved with three particle collider experiments: D0 at Fermilab's Tevatron, CLEO at Cornell's CESR, and CMS under construction at CERN. We are also involved in the non-accelerator particle astrophysics experiment RICE and a proposal for a new accelerator called the next linear collider (NLC). Specific activities include commissioning the tracker outer barrel for the CMS experiment, R&D on calorimetry for a linear collider detector, writing offline software, and analysis of data from D0, CLEO and RICE. We also have a major outreach effort, the Quarked project, that aims to teach children about the fun of particle physics. Animated adventures, games, and classroom presentations are under development. Most of our work is funded by the National Science Foundation.
