When Texas A&M University physicist David Toback was elected eight years ago as co-spokesperson and overall physics coordinator for the CDF collaboration at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), he had one primary goal: to help the group’s 400-person active author list publish the collaboration’s important legacy papers and final results. Although […]
Three Texas A&M University projects are among 64 university research awards announced earlier this summer by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) as part of a $132 million high energy physics-focused funding package aimed at advancing knowledge of how the universe works at its most fundamental levels. Texas A&M physicist Rupak Mahapatra received funding for […]
Dr. Melanie Becker, a professor of physics at Texas A&M University since 2005 and an expert in string theory, passed away on Friday, March 13, in College Station at the age of 53 after undergoing cancer treatment for nearly a year. Funeral services are set for 10 a.m. Thursday, March 26, at Hillier Funeral Home […]
Texas A&M University physicist Rupak Mahapatra has been appointed as director of research engagement for The Texas A&M University System National Laboratories Office (NLO). Shortly after the Texas A&M System became part of the team tasked with managing and operating Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) in 2018, Texas A&M System Chancellor John Sharp established the […]
Dr. Bhaskar Dutta, professor of physics and astronomy at Texas A&M University and director of the George P. and Cynthia Woods Mitchell Institute for Fundamental Physics and Astronomy, has been appointed as holder of the Mitchell-Heep Chair in High Energy Physics, effective May 1, 2019. The $1 million chair was established within the Mitchell Institute […]
BATAVIA, IL — Texas A&M University physicist Dr. David Toback has been elected to his third consecutive two-year term as co-spokesperson for the CDF collaboration at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab), effective June 1, 2018. Toback, a high-energy physics expert and veteran researcher in several related international collaborations, joined the […]
COLLEGE STATION — One of the most heated debates in science surrounds the existence of supersymmetry, a theoretical model of physics predicting that each known particle in the universe has an undiscovered partner particle. It’s a theory with legs in no small part because of its alluring potential to explain dark matter and dark […]
COLLEGE STATION — Physicists at Texas A&M University are celebrating a flagship result out of the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) that could have big implications in explaining dark matter. After sifting through 10 years of data gleaned from roughly 350 trillion proton-antiproton collisions by Fermilab’s powerful atom-smashing Tevatron, the CDF collaboration — which features […]
