1. High Energy Physics at UTA
UTA faculty Andrew Brandt, Kaushik De, Andrew White, Jae Yu along with many post-docs, graduate and undergraduate students investigate the basic forces of nature through particle physics studies at the world’s highest energy accelerators
In the background is a photo of a sub-detector of the 5000 ton DØ detector. This sub-detector was designed and built at UTA and is currently operating at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago.

Give scale and relationship to the domain that high energy physicists work in.
Introduce the fundamental bits of matter loosely so that audience can point back to bulk matter.
Domain.
High energy means small distances

3. Why High Energy Physics At UTA??
YOU can perform fundamental research using world’s highest
energy particle accelerators:
UTA’s four HEP faculty, many grad students and post-docs are part of
collaborations at Fermilab, CERN, and Brookhaven, investigating the Origin of
Mass (Higgs Searches), Supersymmetry, Extra-dimensions, QCD and
Forward Physics.
YOU can build state-of-the-art detectors:
UTA’s Swift Center Detector Laboratory is a fully equipped
10,000 sq ft construction facility; in 2005 these facilities will be incorporated
in the brand new Science Building.
YOU can develop “The GRID”, the next step beyond the Internet:
UTA faculty leading international efforts in this area, we have a 50 processor
high performance computing farm, and a GRID test-bed.
