Santa Cruz Institute for Particle Physics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Santa Cruz Institute of Particle Physics (SCIPP) is the largest sub department within the Physics department at the University of California, Santa Cruz. This department has several world class faculty. These faculty most often are associated with the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) or the ATLAS project at CERN.
There are many experiments being performed at any time within SCIPP but many center on Silicone Strip Particle Detectors and their properties before and after radioactive exposure. Also many of the faculty work on monte carlo simulations and tracking particles within particle colliders. Their most prominent project in recent history has been the development of the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) which searches the sky for Gamma Ray Bursts.
