Particle Physics

Particle PieParticle Physics at UNM includes detailed studies of the Standard Model (the 4% of the universe that we partially understand) and the search for physics Beyond the Standard Model (the 96% of the universe that we would like to understand).

Our programs include:

  • Experiments in collider physics, direct (laboratory) and indirect (particle astrophysics) searches for dark matter, searches for rare decays and the development of new instrumentation essential for the next generation of these experiments
  • Theory/phenomenological studies of physics beyond the Standard Model, including in the context of neutrino physics, dark matter physics, and cosmology.
