Research Interest

Research interests include: Experimental High Energy Physics that includes development and construction of detectors for large scale experiments as well as physics data analysis.

Detector Development: Among the past significant projects are the Hadron Calorimeter for the DELPHI Detector at the Large Electron-Positron Collider at CERN (European Center for Nuclear Research) and muon detector R&D for future hadron colliders. The most important results from LEP are determination of a number of light neutrino generations and precision tests of the Electro-Weak interactions and Quantum Chromodynamics. The current detector project is the design and construction of cathode strip chambers for the CMS Endcap Muon System. CMS is the Compact Muon Solenoid Detector for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (to be commissioned in 2005). Its primary goal is to understand the mechanisms responsible for generating masses of elementary particles (e.g., via so-called Higgs field that should manifest itself at the LHC energies as new Higgs particles) and search for super-symmetrical partners of all currently known elementary particles (super-symmetry is a very desired addition to the Standard Model of particles that would elegantly resolve a number of its numerous deficiencies).

Physics data analysis: Searches for new physics so far revealed no signals that would require going beyond the current Standard Model. However, there are a number of difficulties in the Model that deserve a special attention. One of them is inability or sever limitations of Quantum Chromodynamics to follow the evolution of jets, sprays of gluons and quarks emerging from high energy collisions of particles, from their birth all the way to the moment when gluons and quarks hadronize to become conventional detectable hadrons, such as protons, neutrons, pion, Kaons, etc. One has to invoke some phenomenological models to describe this transition. The goal of my current data analysis of the CDF data (CDF is one of the two Detectors at the Tevatron near Chicago, the collider that currently delivers the largest in the world energies) is to show that the domain of the phenomenological hadronization is very small and that the major features of jets can be understood in the framework of approximated Quantum Chromodynamics calculations.
