Welcome! We are the Particle Astrophysics research group at Brown University, which is part of the wider Cosmology and Astrophyics Program of the Brown University Physics Dept. Our group consists of faculty, post docs, graduate students, and undergraduates conducting experimental work in astrophysics and high energy physics. We are involved in a research collaboration called LUX, which aims to learn more about Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP) dark matter.
Group Leader: Prof. Rick Gaitskell, Brown University [email / personal web]. Please contact him directly for research opportunities, and also take time to look at our web site.
Useful references for students can be found in our Dark Matter Section.
