Detector Design at Brown
Our students have the unique opportunity for hands-on detector design for the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN with Professor Ulrich Heintz's group. Students work at Brown and at CERN toward the goal of replacing the LHC's tracker.

Prof. Heintz's advisee, Ph.D. student Samantha Sunnarborg, works on the LHC tracker in the clean room. Upon completion of the tracker, Prof. Heintz says that "the students can participate in setting up the detector at CERN and making sure all the components work," a uniquely Brown physics experience!
