Lawrence Gibbons is a professor in the Department of Physics at Cornell University, where he has focused his research on Experimental Elementary Particle Physics. His interests include precision measurements, CP violation, weak interactions, electroweak symmetry breaking, and heavy quark physics. Gibbons's research primarily focuses on the execution of the new 'g-2' experiment at Fermilab, which aims to determine the anomalous magnetic moment of muons with a precision of 0.1 parts per million. The goal is to provide constraints on new fundamental particles based on deviations in the Landé g factor. Gibbons has collaborated extensively with colleagues and students in high-energy physics, providing rare opportunities for students to engage in modern experimental physics. He previously served as a research associate at the University of Rochester and held positions as an assistant and associate professor at Cornell before becoming a full professor.
