Theoretical physics

Cosmologists Josh Frieman and Risa Wechsler look back on the Dark Energy Survey, sharing how it’s paving the way for Rubin Observatory to dig deeper into some of the universe’s darkest mysteries.

Wechsler is one of seven Stanford researchers to join the scholarly society, which works to promote science for public good.

The theorist is one of seven Stanford faculty members elected by the Academy this year, recognizing their exceptional contributions in their fields and professions.

The Hubbard Model was unable to predict electron dynamics in a simplified, one-dimensional cuprate system, hinting at an additional attractive force. 

A new center brings astrophysics, data science, and AI together to answer some of the universe’s biggest questions.

His wide-ranging curiosity, original way of looking at problems and sheer joy in solving them drove many important contributions to particle physics. 

SLAC experimentalists and theorists collaborate to develop critical detector components, data analysis tools, and theoretical models for the HL-LHC upgrade, which will investigate the Higgs boson and pursue physics beyond the Standard Model.

Together with two long-time collaborators, he is recognized for work that helps us understand the strong nuclear force.

Bernhard Mistlberger will receive the APS's 2023 Henry Primakoff Award for Early-Career Particle Physics for his work on precision Standard Model calculations.

Toro and Schuster are being recognized for their contributions to the design of experiments that use particle accelerators to search for dark matter particles.

The research could lead to a better understanding of extreme astrophysical environments and the development of compact high-energy radiation sources for science.

Bernhard Mistlberger has developed new methods to make Standard Model predictions more precise than ever. The European Physical Society recently awarded him the 2021 Gribov Medal for his contributions.
