Feature Dean Simmons collaborates with research team to tackle problems in particle physics

Briggs News

Lyman Briggs Dean Elizabeth Simmons brought together a collaborative research team to tackle a problem in particle physics at Harvard's Radcliffe Institute. Dean Simmons, in collaboration with MSU Physics Professor R. S. Chivukula, organized a week-long seminar at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study (Harvard University) in summer 2007 focusing on Higgsless models of electroweak symmetry breaking and their experimental consequences. One of the most significant problems in elementary particle physics is the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking. At present, there is a working theory: the standard model of particle physics, which describes the elementary particles and forces. Read more...

In the Spotlight

Dr. Georgina Montgomery

Dr. Georgina Montgomery examines the history of field primatology and animal behavior studies. She analyzes the development of field sites and methods for the study of "natural" primate behavior and how these studies have been used to justify and/or explain various human behaviors and social hierarchies.
