High Energy Physics Group

The High Energy Physics Group at York University is composed of experimentalists and theorists, who aim to solve the mysteries of the universe through the exploration of the subatomic world. We are currently involved in the ATLAS experiment at CERN, the T2K experiment at j-parc, and the ALPHA collaboration at CERN. The theory group is involved in research of the Standard Model of particles physics and physics Beyond the Standard Model.

 
  • Standard Model of Particle Physics
    Standard Model of Particle Physics
    The standard model of particle physics is a theory concerning the electromagnetic, weak, and strong nuclear interactions, which mediate the dynamics of the known subatomic particles.

  • Beyond the Standard Model
    Beyond the Standard Model
    Physics beyond the Standard Model refers to the theoretical developments needed to explain the deficiencies of the Standard Model, such as the origin of mass, the strong CP problem, neutrino oscillations, matter–antimatter asymmetry, and the origins of dark matter and dark energy.

  • The ATLAS Experiment
    The ATLAS Experiment
    ATLAS is a particle physics experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. The ATLAS detector is searching for new discoveries in the head-on collisions of protons of extraordinarily high energy.

Newsflash

The ALPHA collaboration announced its findings in late November, which involved trapping 38 antihydrogen atoms (an antielectron orbiting an antiproton) for about 170 ms. more...
