Particle Physics Facilities

• The Detector Development Laboratory provides experimental support for an international research program in nonaccelerator particle and nuclear physics performing tests of invariance principles and conservation laws, searches for rare interactions, and neutrino properties.
• Laboratory for High-Performance Computational Physics: This computer laboratory has 15 powerful workstations — each with Intel Core i5 3570 running at 3.4 Ghz, 16 Gb RAM, and an nVidia GTX 650 graphics card. They are running Ubuntu 13.04 operating system. Each workstation has a 24-inch screen monitor. These world-class workstations are connected to our main file server via the highest quality gigabyte network connectors.
