High Energy Theory Group

The Large Hadron Collider at CERN discovered the Higgs boson, a particle associated with the field responsible for the masses of all the elementary particles.  The image above is of a candidate Higgs event, from the CMS experiment.Faculty

Research

Our research in high energy theory focuses on physics beyond the standard model and its experimental consequences. Recent research topics include:

  •  Extensions of the standard model
  •  Models of dark matter
  •  Higher derivative and nonlocal quantum field theories
  •  Higgs physics
  •  Applications of the AdS / CFT correspondence
  • Particle physics of the early universe
  • Quantum theories of gravity
  • Black holes
