Welcome! Our research groups explore the fundamental building blocks of nature and their interactions through direct experimentation at facilities on campus and around the world. Our work combines the abstraction of the mathematical and the invisible with the concrete and practical: apparatus design, construction, electronics, software development, and data analysis

Together with our theory colleagues, we form the Amherst Center for Fundamental Interactions. The ACFI holds a weekly seminar, typically on Tuesdays at 2:30 but sometimes on Friday at 2:00 in LGRT 419B. Seminar listings are maintained on the Departmental seminar page.
