| Research
Interest: |
| My
research is concentrated on studies
of the behaviour of the laws of nature
when time is reversed, when left and
right are interchanged, and/or when
matter is replaced with antimatter.
The ultimate goal is to understand how
the present Universe, which is almost
entirely composed of matter, evolved
from the Big Bang, when it was believed
to be highly matter-antimatter symmetric.
The current theories that address matter-antimatter
differences are best tested by studying
the decays of B mesons, subatomic particles
that contain so-called beauty quarks.
Since the high energy physics laboratory
in Tsukuba, Japan, has the world's best
facility for producing B mesons, the
primary focus of my research is experimentation
there. |
