On the hunt for physics beyond the Standard Model, some DZero physicists search for traces of super-symmetry, leptoquarks, quark substructure and other curiosities. Others continue to probe the Model, the theoretical backbone of modern particle physics, by making ever more precise measurements. DZero, located at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, Illionis, U.S., is a “general-purpose high energy physics experiment.” As such, the DZero detector slices and dices a broad range of particles and phenomena that only Fermilab’s Tevatron, currently the world’s highest energy particle accelerator, can produce. DZero uses Open Science Grid resources for the bulk of its data processing. These jobs, which started running in February, are the first real production use of OSG resources for high energy physics.
