computing tetraquarks

Protons and neutrons are not the only particles that are made of quarks. Our research team at York University is combining theory and computation to explore whether a particular category of tetraquarks might exist.

computing dark matter

Dark matter is an important part of the universe, but its fundamental properties remain mysterious. If dark matter is governed by a theory similar to the strong force between quarks, then computational methods are required. Work on this topic has been done in partnership with researchers at the University of Southern Denmark and also at York.

planning future research

A long range planning process was driven by the Canadian subatomic physics research community. As a committee, we reviewed the community's input and formulated the long range plan.
