KU Scientists Build Tools to Unlock Universe's Origins | Lawrence News

Kansas physicists are set to play a pivotal role in unraveling the universe’s origins, thanks to a $1 million federal grant to build cutting-edge detectors for the Large Hadron Collider. Led by Professor Michael Murray, the University of Kansas team will construct two High-Luminosity Zero Degree Calorimeters—specialized instruments designed to capture elusive particles born from proton collisions. These devices, built on campus and tested at Fermilab, will be installed at CERN’s upgraded collider by 2030, offering students real-world experience while helping scientists probe the fundamental forces that shaped existence.
