The Experimental Particle Physics group at TTU, led by Professors Akchurin, Feng, Lee, Madrid, and Volobouev, participates in the CMS experiment at CERN’s LHC and conducts advanced detector R&D. The group focuses on Standard Model measurements, beyond-the-Standard-Model searches, and major upgrades to the CMS end-cap calorimeters for the High-Luminosity LHC. Research is supported by the Advanced Particle Detector Laboratory, the High-Performance Computing Center, and collaborations with Fermilab’s LHC Physics Center, with ongoing detector R&D for future colliders such as the FCC and ILC.
