We study the properties of the fundamental particles: the quarks and leptons (including electrons and neutrinos) and the carriers of the electroweak and strong forces, the gauge bosons and gluons. We do this work as active members of experiments at the largest particle accelerators in the world: the Large Hadron Collider at CERN,  the Fermi National Laboratory near Chicago where we participate in the D0 collider experiment and the NOvA neutrino oscillation experiment. We have research groups resident at both laboratories. Other neutrino oscillation experiments in which our members participate include T2K and IceCube/PINGU.

We also study high-energy astrophysical neutrinos with IceCube and TeV cosmic rays in Mexico with the HAWC Observatory.

At MSU experimentalists and theorists work in close proximity and participate in frequent discussions, collaborate together, and share common seminars. This close interaction, exemplified by the MSU-based CTEQ program, creates a vibrant, intellectually stimulating atmosphere contributing to the productivity of both theorists and experimentalists.
