Neutrino Physics
Research Statement
My area of research, neutrino physics, lies at the crossroads of particle, nuclear, and astrophysics. At present, we have observed only three neutrinos. But a first hint of "extra" neutrino types may have come from an experiment at Los Alamos. The experiment which I lead, MiniBooNE at Fermilab, will decisively test this result. If these "extra neutrinos" exist, it will force us to rethink ideas in fundamental physics and the cosmos.
