The University of Arizona scientists have recently joined the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) collaboration. DUNE will be studying neutrinos and its antiparticle, antineutrinos, with the hope of answering the long-standing question of why the universe is matter dominated. DUNE will also be looking for neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae which will provide crucial information about the formation of neutron stars or black holes.

Twenty-seven prospective graduate students visited the UA Physics Department this March 29th and 30th. Over these two days, they met faculty and current physics grad students, found out about research opportunities, and joined us for lab tours, including a tour of the University of Arizona’s world renowned Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab. The evening of March 29, the UA Physics Graduate Program hosted a reception and buffet dinner for the visitors at the ENR2 building rooftop patio.
Prof. Rozo was recently named one of 24 Cottrell Scholars by the Research Corporation for Science Advancement (RCSA). These awards are given to “outstanding teacher-scholars who are recognized by their scientific communities for the quality and innovation of their research programs and their academic leadership skills.” With his proposal, “Shining a Light on the Dark Energy”, Dr.
This annual event features physics department members presenting various experiments testing the laws of physics to the community, all ages welcome.
