Professor Jaroslaw Nowak FHEA

Professor of Particle Physics

Research Overview

My research interests are in particle physics, and some of the current topics I investigate are:

  • Resonance excitations and pion production in neutrino-nucleus interactions.
  • Hyperon production in neutrino interactions.
  • Nuclear effects in neutrino scattering.
  • Neutrino magnetic moment search.
  • Search for Dark Matter.

My research-related activities are

  • Development of simulation software for neutrino interaction (leading author on NuWro generator and contributor of the resonance production model for the GENIE and NUANCE generators)
  • Development, construction and installation of particle physics detectors (current: DUNE, SBND and DarkSide-20k. Past: NOvA, SMRD, HPTPC)

I am a member of DUNE, SBND, MicroBooNE and DarkSide-20k experiments.
