In 2009 a new accelerator will begin operation at CERN located near Geneva Switzerland. This will open a new frontier at energies not yet explored. Using the CMS ( compact muon spectrometer) we expect to discover new particles, such as the Higgs, and new phenomena such as supersymmetry and extra dimensions and surprises that nature has in store. This will allow a giant step forward in understanding the grand unification of all forces and the theoretical framework that could contain a new view of our Universe and the existence of other Universes.
Beauty and charm quark physics using electron-positron annihilations at the accelerator CESR at Cornell. The physics involves high precision measurements of the properties of quarks and anti quarks including couplings, interactions and spectroscopy of bound quark states. This provides a window to the physics of the very early Universe and it's subsequent evolution. Rare decays and unexpected phenomena are of particular interest to understand how the Universe formed and evolved resulting in the matter dominated Universe that exists today.
