Grant: Canada Research Chairs
Simon Fraser University
$120,000.00
Experimental Particle Physics
FY 2023-24
Summary
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is the most powerful particle accelerator ever built and provides a unique opportunity to explore the high-energy frontier in particle physics. Dr. Danninger will use the ATLAS detector at the LHC to search for signs of long-lived new particle signatures, to shed light on the universe¿s biggest remaining mysteries: why matter prevailed over antimatter in the early universe, or what exactly dark matter is. Searching for these particles is highly challenging as they have the tendency to avoid interactions, making them elusive to detection.
