Research Interests
Dr. Denis Dujmic is an experimental particle physicist who is primarily involved in searches for new physics phenomena. He is a member of the MIT/DMTPC team that is developing a novel detector to search for elusive dark matter particles, which make 80% of matter in the universe. The aim of this project is to build a large-scale, underground detector, which will be able to catch signatures of the dark matter for the first time.
He has also been one of leading people in the search for “super-penguins” - a class of B-meson decays that are used as sensitive probes for new particles and interactions. This research is conducted as a part of BABAR experiment at SLAC, which studies the origin of matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. Read more about search for “super-penguins” in a popular-science article by Dujmic (SLAC Today, Sep 14, 2006).
His current interests also include development of new particle detectors, data-analysis algorithms and simulation programs.
