Our dark Universe programme research includes direct searches for DM with LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ), indirect searches for DM with ATLAS and the study of DM and DE with the Rubin Observatory where we have contributed to the construction of the world’s largest digital camera providing a field-of-view of 9.6 square degrees. This dark energy (DE) has been one of the foci of modern cosmology over the last 15 years. In addition to invisible DM, most of the Universe’s energy is also invisible. Recent research has focused on discovering dark matter (DM), which forms a window on new physics. Most of the gravitating matter in the Universe does not emit detectable radiation. Oxford is playing a leading role in developing the next generation long baseline experiments: Hyper-K in Japan and DUNE in the US. SNO+: Located at SNOLAB in Canada, this experiment studies neutrinoless double beta decays, which offers a unique probe to understand if neutrinos are Majorana or Dirac particles.MINERvA: An experiment using high-intensity beam to study neutrino reactions with different nuclei.

Super-K: The huge water Cherenkov far detector for T2K is used for oscillation studies with atmospheric neutrinos, astrophysics, and searches for proton decay.T2K: A Long-baseline neutrino oscillation studies to study CP violation in the neutrino sector.Oxford has a long history in neutrino physics dating back many decades, and has played a significant part in the great progress which has been made in the field through our critical contributions to the SNO (2015 Nobel Prize in Physics) and T2K (2016 Breakthrough Prize in Physics) experiments. Neutrinos, the Universe’s most abundant particles, remain mysterious and understanding their properties is critical to our understanding of the origin of matter and the early evolution of the Universe. Our research includes LHCb at CERN to study heavy flavour quarks Beijing Spectrometer III (BES III) studying quantum-correlated D mesons decays to improve our measurements at the LHCb and MU3e at the Paul Scherrer Institute building an ultra-low mass tracking system to search for a muon’s ultra-rare decay into two electrons and a positron. Intensity frontier physicsĮxperiments at the intensity frontier require very high-intensity beams and advanced instrumentation to search for new physics through virtual particles enhancing rare processes via quantum loops. Thanks to our groups’ world-leading expertise and specialist technical services, we play a key role in the experiment’s infrastructure from the ITk pixel and strip detector to preparing form the a next-generation electron-positron Higgs factory. In ATLAS, we lead physics analyses on searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, to understand the Higgs boson and Standard Model precision measurements. Our research programme at the high-energy frontier focuses on the ATLAS experiment at CERN LHC. with quantum technologies to explore fundamental physics.

to explore the dark Universe (dark energy and dark matter).

at the intensity frontier to understand the matter-antimatter asymmetry, rare phenomena, and new interactions.

at the high-energy frontier to study the Higgs boson and to search for new physics.

We use accelerator, non-accelerator-based experiments and quantum technologies and develop instrumentation and novel acceleration techniques to enable our science. Our world-leading research in experimental particle physics explores the most fundamental constituents of our Universe to understand their makeup and the forces acting between them our work is underpinned by our novel instrumentation techniques and by the John Adams Institute, an academic centre of excellence for accelerator science and technology.
