The particle physics experimental group (PEX) at UC Davis performs experiments around the world to study the fundamental building blocks of matter and their interactions. Colliders, neutrino beams, and dark matter direct detection experiments provide complementary sensitivity in the search for new phenomena about our universe at the deepest level.
