Collider Phenomenology

IPMU collider phenomenology group members pursue a broad range of research in testing physics of the standard model and beyond standard model at the colliders, especially the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). With the upcoming LHC turn-on in 2009, we will have great opportunities in exploring physics at the TeV scale. This machine will enable us to systematically investigate electroweak symmetry breaking, to probe new physics like low energy supersymmetry, extra dimensions or other unexpected exotics. Researchers in the group are now preparing the theoretical tools to investigate these exciting physics. We also seek the connection between collider physics and dark matter/cosmic ray physics.
