High Energy Physics is the study of the most fundamental building blocks of nature. Both accelerators producing energies not seen since the big bang, and natural sources of high energy particles are used to elucidate the nature of matter. Members of the department are working on the CDF experiment at the Fermi national laboratory in Chicago, the Atlas experiment at the LHC in Geneva, Switzerland and the Super-Kamiokande and T2K experiments in Japan. Topics include the search for the Higgs boson and the study of the properties of the neutrino with a focus on understanding the origin of mass and the observed matter asymmetry of the universe. See all High Energy Physics information.

Swati Routh, a PhD graduate student at the Physics Department, was selected as a University Scholar at The University of Texas at Arlington. The University created this award to formally recognize the top one percent of the student body who exemplify academic and research excellence. Ms. Routh’s current research activities, performed under the direction of Dr. Z.E. Musielak, involve studies of the energy transfer by waves propagating along magnetic flux tubes in the atmosphere of the Sun and other solar-type stars. She is a co-author of 5 refereed papers and 3 conference proceedings.
