Jennet Dickinson is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University. She is a high energy physicist focusing on the smallest building blocks of matter. Her research delves into the Standard Model of particle physics, which catalogs known fundamental particles and their interactions. This model accurately describes many phenomena, although observations from experiments often reveal complexities. A significant aspect of her work involves the Higgs boson, which was predicted in the early 1960s to explain how particles acquire mass and was discovered in 2012 through high energy proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Her current research focuses on the production of high energy Higgs bosons within the CMS experiment and seeks to explore potential new physics phenomena at high energy scales. With the upcoming High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC) accelerator upgrade, she anticipates producing significantly more Higgs bosons than during the particle’s original discovery, paving the way for enhanced measurements and novel detector technologies designed to handle substantial data volumes. At Cornell, she is involved in the construction and commissioning of an upgraded Phase 2 forward pixel detector, crucial for advanced particle detection.
