Research

UNM's Center for Fundamental Physics bring a diverse yet synergistic research focus to the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of New Mexico. While encompassing a large number of both theoretical and experimental efforts, the techniques and underlying physics are sufficiently overlapping to create a large internal collaboration within the department that brings excellent seminars (every Tuesday), provides for theoretical guidance to graduate students, and enhances our experimental facilities through knowledge and equipment sharing.

The eight associated faculty have diverse research programs in Cosmology, Dark Matter searches, Neutrino Physics, Nuclear Physics, Particle Astrophysics, and Particle Physics.

Many of the research program are in close collaboration with research groups at nearby Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).
