Modern theories of particle physics purport to explain the origin of mass, and hope to unify the descriptions of all the forces, including gravity. Our research group works on projects that test these ideas.<br /><br /> With the discovery that "normal" matter constitutes only 4% of the total energy in the universe, the study of dark matter and dark energy has attracted great interest. We collaborate on two projects that plan to study these phenomena.</p><br /><br /> <h2>Projects with Illinois Participation</h2><br /><br /> <h3>Particle Physics:</h3><br /><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="atlas.html">The ATLAS Detector at the Large Hadron Collider</a><br /><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="collider.html">Collider Detector at Fermilab</a><br /><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration: none" href="http://www.hep.uiuc.edu/hepg/CESR/cesr.html">Heavy Flavors at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR)</a><br /><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://www.hep.uiuc.edu/hepg/CHARM/charm.html">High Energy Photoproduction</a><br /><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://www.hep.uiuc.edu/home/g-gollin/research/">Linear Collider R &amp; D</a><br /><br /> <h3>Astrophysics:</h3><br /><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.darkenergysurvey.org">Dark Energy Survey</a><br /><br /> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="http://www.lsst.org/lsst_home.shtml">Large Synoptic Survey Telescope</a> <p>&nbsp;</p> </div> </div> </div> <br clear="all"> <div class="cleardiv">&nbsp;</div> </div> </div> <h2 class="hide">Footer</h2> <div id="footerBar"> <div id="footer"> <div id="logo"><a href="http://www.illinois.edu" onMouseOver="MM_swapImage('logo','','/images/UI_logo_HOVER.gif',1)" onFocus="MM_swapImage('logo','','/images/UI_logo_HOVER.gif',1)" onMouseOut="MM_swapImgRestore()" onBlur="MM_swapImgRestore()"> <img src="UI_logo.gif" alt="University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign" name="logo" width="26" height="37" border="0"/></a></div> © Copyright 1999-2007 by the Department of Physics at the <a href="http://www.illinois.edu">University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; [If you have questions about this page, please <a href="mail:ayers1@illinois.edu">contact webmaster</a> ]&nbsp;&nbsp;[Links to external sites are provided as a convenience to our users.
