Who We Are

The main focus of our research is background characterization and data analysis for the SuperCDMS dark matter experiment. We have a few projects that compliment our dark matter research involving the study of how radon plates out (or “sticks”) to surfaces. Radon is one of the key background contaminants for dark matter and neutrinoless double beta decay experiments.
Measurements of Alpha Activity of Plastics
