I received my Phd. from Imperial College London in 1985 in hard x-ray astronomy. After a short period in the nuclear industry I went on to post-doctoral research at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory before receiving a PPARC advanced Fellowship to study dark matter at Oxford University in 1992. Transferring to the University of Sheffield in 1994 to build a new group in Dark Matter research I became Reader in 1996 and received a further Senior Fellowship. I established the well known international conference series Identification of Dark Matter (IDM) in 1996 and the UK’s Boulby Underground laboratory, becoming PI for construction of the Palmer laboratory. I was head of the UK Dark Matter programme (UKDMC) until 2004. In 2000 I was awarded a professorial Chair and became head of Particle Physics and Particle Astrophysics at Sheffield. The group has since quadrupled since to around 75 people. I maintain a strong research interest in dark matter and underground physics emphasising experimental techniques to seek galactic signals through directional detection, rather than through conventional counting techniques. Along with US colleagues I pioneered the first significant gas-based time projection technology for this, building the world’s leading experiment DRIFT at Boulby. Since 2005 my research has also diversified into neutrino physics, building the UK’s first liquid argon detector laboratory. I helped found the European LAGUNA programme to build a massive underground neutrino experiment, now merged into the global Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) for which I have been developing technology to build the massive 10 kton central liquid argon detector.

Dark matter and underground physics

Itzhak Bars is a Professor of Physics at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles. He received his Ph.D. from Yale University in 1971 and after postdoctoral research at the University of California at Berkeley, he joined the faculty of Stanford University in 1973. He returned to Yale University in 1975 as a faculty member in the Physics Department, and after a decade, he moved to the University of Southern California in 1984 to build a research group in High Energy Physics. He served as the director of the Caltech-USC Center for Theoretical Physics during 1999-2003. His visiting appointments include Harvard University, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, CERN and The Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics where he is currently a Distinguished Visiting Research Chair. Professor Bars is a leading expert in symmetries in Physics, which he applies in much of his research on particle physics, field theory, string theory and mathematical physics in over 240 scientific papers. He is the author of a book on "Quantum Mechanics", a co-author of a book on "Extra Dimensions in Space and Time", and co-editor of the books "Strings '95", "Future Perspectives in String Theory", "Symmetry in Particle Physics". Some of his experimentally successful physics predictions include supersymmetry in large nuclei with even/odd numbers of nucleons, and the weak interaction contribution to the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon, in the context of the quantized Standard Model, that was confirmed after 30 years. His contributions to the mathematics of supersymmetry are extensively used in several branches of physics and mathematics. Bars's honors include Fellow of the American Physical Society, the First Award in the Gravity Research Foundation essay contest (shared with Chris Pope), Outstanding Junior Investigator Award by the Department of Energy, and the A. P. Sloan Foundation Fellowship.

His current interests include String Field Theory; Two-Time Physics, which he originated in 1998; Cosmology and Black Holes. In 2006 he established that all the physics we know today, as embodied in principle in the Standard Model of Particles and Forces and General Relativity, emerges from a new kind of gauge symmetric theory (in position-momentum phase space) based on a space-time of 4 space and 2 time dimensions. The physical gauge invariant sector, of this 4+2 dimensional reformulation of all physics, yields a holographic projection (like a shadow) onto a "boundary" of 4+2 dimensions. This boundary is an emergent space-time with 3 space and 1 time dimensions where we exist as observers that interpret all phenomena that occur within the 4+2 dimensional universe. This reformulation of physics predicts new correlations among physical phenomena that are not provided by the traditional 1 time formalism and therefore yields new information that was not available before. An important prediction of this approach is that the Standard Model coupled to General Relativity must be invariant under local scaling transformations in 3+1 dimensions. This local Weyl symmetry in turn provides new tools to investigate new features of 3+1 dimensional space-time in the very early cosmological history of the universe and in the interior of black holes.

Dr. Gideon Alexander is a Professor Emeritus of Physics, School of Physics and Astromony, Tel-Aviv Univesity, Tel-Aviv, Israel. He did his master’s in The Hebrew University, Jerusalem, Israel, 1954. He is studying the properties of proton-proton interactionsat very high energies up to 13 TeV using the ATLAS detector situated at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. In particular he is interested in the properties of the Bose-Einsteinand Fermi-Dirac correlation as a function of energy and particle masses. The experimental work is supplement by him by own phenomenological description on these phenomena. In addition he is working on plans for future electron-positron colliders, like CLIC and the ILC, in particular in relation to the production and measurement of the polarized incoming beams.

Dr. Romulus Godang is the Professor of Physics, Department of Physics, University of South Alabama. He did his M.S. in Physics, Virginia Tech. His interests include the precision measurements of the elements of CKM matrix aimed for understanding the source of asymmetry and behavior between matter and anti-matter including CP violation, testing the Standard Model, and discovering New Physics. Experiments tell us that for every fundamental particle there exists an anti-particle. The big bang is almost certainty produced particles and anti-particles in equal numbers. However, our observations indicate that we live in a universe of matter, not anti-matter. There must be some other undiscovered phenomenon that makes matter and anti-matter behave differently. Its source may lie in the properties of the Higgs Boson, SUper-SYmmetry, Gravitons, Extra Dimensions, Dark Matter, or New Particles.

Dr. Tsuruta is a Professor of Physics in Montana State University. She is involved with the astrophysics research group in various theoretical problems of high energy, plasma, relativistic, particle and nuclear astrophysics, with particular emphasis on studies of dense matter in neutron stars and ultrahot plasmas around supermassive black holes. Professor Tsuruta's current research includes detailed calculations of neutron star cooling and heating with superfluid particles, pion and kaon condensates, quarks, and strong magnetic fields; implications of the results of these calculations to the problem of detectability of these stars; and construction of viable models of a central power house in active galactic nuclei (AGN). This central engine is considered to be responsible for the enormous amount of energy produced in quasars and strong radio galaxies.

Dr. Ignazio Lazzizzera was a Professor of Particle Physics in 1978-1983. He joined the international collaboration CMS ( Compact Muon Solenoid) experiment at LHC ( CERN ) in 2006, involved in various analyzes. From 2014 Team Leader of the AMS02-Trent group at CERN. Presently his research includes S tangle of a new first level trigger on the drift chambers components of the system for muons, satisfactory to NECESSITY unprecedented requests to CMS in the regime of high luminosity in the future pervista so-called Phase 2 SuperLHC . The muon system is a powerful tool to recognize the signature of interesting processes sull'elevatissimo primer. In phase 2 of SuperLHC it is designed a luminosity of 10 ^ 35 cm ^ -2 s ^ -2, who'll want to say an average overlap of about 250 events "minimum bias" for each meeting of protons packages, which follow one another at intervals of 25 nano-seconds. The innovative idea for the trigger is for replying back in the central plotter the trajectory of muons as seen in the drift chambers and When so use the same precision of the plotter in the determination of the "transverse pulses" of muons. In this work I have responsibility in particular for the simulation software.
