Keith Baker
Keith Baker, a particle physicist known for his contributions to the discovery of the Higgs boson and his work on dark matter, has been appointed the D. Allan Bromley Professor of Physics. His appointment was effective Feb. 20.
A member of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, Baker concentrates on experimental particle physics, including research at the energy frontier being conducted by the ATLAS collaboration at the
Large Hadron Collider (
LHC), the world’s largest and most powerful particle accelerator, in Geneva, Switzerland, and precision studies at sub-eV energies. He helped build the detectors and was part of the team that carried out the machine learning analysis in the discovery of the Higgs boson, the last elementary particle predicted in what is known as the Standard Model of particle physics.
