Searches for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model, including evidence of SUSY (supersymmetry), particularly in the jets plus missing transverse energy (MET) final states. b-tagging and the search for Standard Model Higgs, graduate student Jason Keller’s work in tagging b-quark jets that decay to soft electrons (hidden within the jet) is now the tool he uses in an early CMS measurement of the top quark production cross section. Cosmic rays are where the study of high energy physics began, and are the focus of my outreach efforts working with high school teachers and students (see below). Underground Science: The first evidence of physics beyond the Standard Model (SM) has been the demonstration of neutrino oscillation (and, by implication, mass). Repeated confirmations reveal an unknown form of “dark matter” comprises some 80% of all matter. A comprehensive program of searches for physics beyond the standard model must include neutrino studies and direct dark matter searches.
