Postdoc Chris West Receives 2018 CMS Achievement Award
University of Alabama postdoctoral researcher Chris West was recently awarded a 2018 CMS Achievement Award, for his contributions to the Hadronic Calorimeter (HCAL) project on the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS)
CERN Experiment Involving UA’s Henderson and Rumerio Observes Long-Sought Higgs Boson
The Higgs boson has at last been observed decaying to fundamental particles known as bottom quarks. The finding, presented today at CERN by the ATLAS and CMS collaborations at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is consistent with the
Research Involving UA’s Ion Stancu Supports Existence of New Type of Neutrino
Data collected by the MiniBooNE neutrino experiment show evidence supporting the possibility that there may be a 4th “sterile” neutrino. UA physics professor Dr. Ion Stancu is a participant in
UA Astronomers Use Hubble Space Telescope to Understand Variable Stars
Several researchers in the Department of Physics and Astronomy have been selected for observation time on the Hubble Space Telescope. One member, Professor Dean Townsley, as part of an international
