High Energy Physics
More information about this research group can be found on the High Energy Physics website.
High-energy Physics at Iowa State University is divided into the following research programs:
Professor John Hauptman leads the 4th detector collaboration for a future electron-positron collider, and also works on the DZero experiment at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider.
Professors Chen, Cochran, Crawley, Meyer, Prell and Rosenberg form the Ames High-Energy Physics Group. Past activities include the DELPHI detector at the CERN LEP site. Our current projects include the PEP-II BaBar detector at SLAC, and the ATLAS detector at the CERN LHC site.
Professors Atwood and Valencia and are the faculty members doing phenomenological research in electroweak interactions within the standard model and beyond. Professor Whisnant does phenomenological research in neutrino physics.
Drs. Frank Krennrich and Amanda Weinstein do research in particle astrophysics.
They are actively engaged in the study of high-energy gamma rays in both the VERITAS and GLAST collaborations.
