Summary:
Professor
Barberis's research in experimental high energy physics
is focused on the study of
matter at the smallest distance scale.
As a member of the DŲ
experiment at the Tevatron Collider at Fermilab, Prof. Barberis
is currently studying collisions of protons and antiprotons
at a center of mass energy of 2 TeV,
the highest ever produced by particle accelerators. At
such energy scale, the fundamental constituents in the
protons and antiprotons interact to produce other massive
states, such as the Top quark, discovered by the Tevatron
Collider experiments, DŲ and
CDF, in 1995. The focus of Prof. Barberis work is the
detailed study of the top quark properties, and the search
for the mechanism responsible for the generation of all
particles masses (in the Standard Model of particle physics,
the Higgs field).
On
the DŲ experiment, Prof. Barberis led the effort to design
and implement the software system which reconstructs events
recorderd by the Silicon Microstrip
tracker, and she is now co-leading the Top quark physics
analysis group.
As
a natural continuation of her involvement on the DŲ experiment,
Prof. Barberis is joining the CMS
experiment at the LHC collider
at CERN, which will
extend the hadron collider
program to a center of mass energy
of 14 TeV.
Before
joining the DŲ Experiment, Prof. Barberis worked on the
ZEUS experiment at DESY in Hamburg,
Germany.
The ZEUS experiment uses the high energy collisions of
electrons and protons to perform detailed studies of the
structure of the proton.
