Kellogg Theory Group

Research: Theoretical research in the Kellogg Theory Group lies at the interface of nuclear physics, particle physics, and cosmology. Members of the group are currently carrying out work on electroweak baryogenesis and CP-violation; precision electroweak probes of physics beyond the Standard Model with an emphasis on supersymmetry; properties and interactions of neutrinos, including neutrinoless double beta-decay, neutrino oscillations, and implications of neutrino mass; tests of fundamental symmetries, including parity, time-reversal, and lepton flavor; implications of dark matter scenarios; neutrinos and the cosmic microwave background; nonperturbative QCD and properties of hadrons, including lattice renormalization and effective field theories of QCD.

Members of the group have active and synergistic interactions with Kellogg Lab experimentalists as well as members of the Particle Theory and Theoretical Astrophysics groups. The Kellogg and Lauritsen Particle Theory groups hold joint weekly group meetings.
