Co-PIs Brau, Dallapiccola and Willocq have been awarded a DOE grant of $1.71 million to fund their research activities on the ATLAS experiment for the 3-year period 2013-2015. In addition to the three faculty PIs, the UMass ATLAS group is currently comprised of a research scientist, two postdocs and five graduate students and maintains leadership positions in muon reconstruction software, muon detector upgrades, precision measurements of Standard Model processes and searches for new physics phenomena, including: extra dimensions, new interactions and hidden sectors of new particles.
