The Rutgers University high energy physics group consists of five faculty members in experimental
particle physics, two in experimental astroparticle physics, two in high energy phenomenology, and seven in
formal high energy theory. We are active in nearly all of the forefront areas of high energy physics research.
These include research at the world's highest energy particle accelerators: the Fermilab Tevatron Collider
(both the CDF and D0 experiments) and the Large Hadron Collider at CERN (the CMS experiment). We are also
active in detector development and have pioneered the technology of radiation-hard diamond sensors. In astroparticle
physics, we study ultra-high energy cosmic rays using the Telescope Array experiment, a large hybrid ground-array
with fluorescence detectors, in the Utah desert. In phenomenology, we are doing innovative work on Hidden Valley
Models and on signatures for R parity violating supersymmetry. Our formal theory group is one of the world's
foremost in string theory. One of our strengths is the very close collaboration that exists between experiment and
theory. We also benefit greatly from the close geographic proximity to colleagues at Princeton University and the
Institute for Advanced Study that together make Central New Jersey a world center for high energy physics.
