Exploring New Physics at CDF: From Particles to Phenomena

Dive into the cutting-edge searches for new particles and phenomena at CDF, led by Chris Hays from Duke University. Discover the frontier structure of matter and interactions with time scales ranging from 10^-20 seconds to 10^-44 seconds. Explore concepts like Chiral Color, Grand Unification, Leptoquarks, and more at various distance scales and energy levels up to 1 TeV. Get insights into the history of the Universe, atom nucleus, particle string, and beyond. With the CDF Detector's reconstructed objects, explore exciting findings like Doubly-Charged Particles, Graviton Theory, Long-Lived Charged Particles, and Leptoquarks. Unravel the mysteries of new particles, cosmics, dileptons, diquarks, and more in the quest for understanding fundamental physics phenomena. Witness the powerful search for Supersymmetry, Compositeness, Technicolor, and other intriguing concepts. Get ready for a new year of even greater sensitivity to detecting and interpreting new physics and particles.
