Research:Philip Rubin


Phil Rubin is a particle physics experimentalist. He participates in large-scale experiments designed to explore the fundamental components and interactions of nature. These experiments seek evidence for rare and forbidden sub-atomic processes which might be exceptions to accepted symmetries or conservation laws. He is currently involved in three experiments. In one of them being performed at the CERN lab in Geneva, the goal is to find possible evidence for supersymmetry in the decay of charged kaons. A second experiment, being undertaken using the Cornell storage ring is designed to study weak interactions of the charm quark, looking for forbidden processes. His most recent experiment, called Daya Bay, is being conducted in China, and it is designed to study a particular property of neutrino oscillations, specifically one of the mixing angles of two types of neutrinos. This effort is an international collaboration comprised mainly of physicists from China and the U.S., but also including scientists and engineers from the Czech Republic, Hong Kong, Russia, and Taiwan, has been assembled. Dr. Rubin has involved students – both graduate and undergraduate – in this work, and would be interested in involving additional highly qualified students.
