The Standard Model
By comparing experimental results with predictions from the Standard Model, we test our understanding of the universe
Forces Strong nuclear
force (QCD) Electroweak
electromagnetism weak force
Gravity

What are the Big Questions to be Answered?
What is the origin of mass?
Can all of the forces be unified?
How do neutrinos oscillate?
Why do we see more matter than anti-matter?
What is out there that we have never observed?

Fermilab Tevatron
Currently, the world's premier accelerator facility Proton-Anti-Proton collisions at a center of mass energy of 1.9 trillion electron-volts
Two collider experiments D0 and CDF
Other physics neutrino physics, CP-violation,
astrophysics and more
Located outside of Chicago
Scientists from all around the world come to Fermilab to do high energy physics

The D0 Experiment
Started taking data Spring, 2001
Already 9x larger than previous data sets
Will take data until 2009
Upgrade in 2006
Built around the collision point to detect particles flying out in all directions

Calorimeter
FSU has a major responsibility for the D calorimeter
Uranium-Liquid Argon sampling
calorimeter
Measure energy of hadrons and
electrons
