Laboratory for Particle Physics and Cosmology

LPPC (formerly HEPL) carries out forefront research programs in experimental particle physics and cosmology, and provides first-rate educational opportunities for students. Our experimental program is carried out at accelerator labs around the world and addresses important questions both within and beyond the Standard Model. We have also expanded our program to include astrophysics where we will be studying the fundamental properties of dark energy. Experimental particle physics and astrophysics have remarkably similar modes of research. Apparatus is developed on campus and then deployed to off campus facilities for operation and data acquisition. In both cases, the projects typically involve large international collaborations. Once data are acquired, the results are brought back to campus for refined analysis.Affiliation: Harvard University
