Introduction
The University of Colorado (CU) High Energy Physics group is
located in the Gamow Tower of the Duane Physics Building on the
University of Colorado,
Boulder campus.
The group currently consists of
12 faculty members,
6 post-docs,
10 graduate students,
a number of undergraduates, and
a support staff.
The research interests include both Experimental and Theoretical High Energy Physics. The experimentalists work in collaboration with such groups as BaBar, Mini-BooNE, International Linear Collider, and Compact Muon Solenoid. They conduct research in such places as the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Fermi National Laboratory (FNAL) and the Stanford Linear Accelerator. The major research areas of the theory group include string theory and quantum gravity, lattice QCD with an emphasis on issues associated with chiral symmetry, and beyond-standard model phenomenology and the origin of fermion masses.
