Research interests: Weak
Interactions in the Nucleus
The Standard Model of electro-weak
interactions is an effective theory that describes our understanding of
Nature at as fundamental a level as we presently can. The model has many
parameters (such as the masses of the elementary particles) that are input to
reproduce the experimental values. We suspect there is a theory, more
fundamental than the Standard Model, that could describe the behavior of
Nature in a simpler way. The Standard Model is viewed as an effective theory
of a more profound (yet-to-be-discovered) theory which we would like to
probe.
Our group works on experiments to search for physics beyond the Standard
Model using the nucleus as a probe and on ancillary experiments to understand
nuclear-physics issues related to the direct searches for new physics.
