SCHOOL COLORS:
Garnet and gold

PARTICLE PHYSICS COLLABORATIONS:
Dzero, CMS, CTEQ

NUMBER OF SCIENTISTS AND STUDENTS AT FERMILAB:
Nine faculty, two postdocs and six graduate students

COLLABORATING AT FERMILAB SINCE:
Mid-1970s

PARTICLE PHYSICS RESEARCH FOCUS: We primarily do collider physics. On CMS and DZero, we work on searches for new physics (including the Higgs), top quark physics, QCD studies and electroweak measurements. Our theory group does pertubative QCD and electroweak calculations, new physics model building and lattic guage calculations.

WHAT SETS PARTICLE PHYSICS AT FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY APART?
Our experimental work and our calculations are extremely well integrated.
