About Jon Urheim

Experimental particle physics

Flavor physics and the weak interaction physics of heavy quarks and leptons:

  • neutrino oscillations
  • quark flavor mixing
  • CP violation in quark and neutrino sectors
  • tau lepton physics
  • tests of quark and lepton universality

Strong interaction physics of hadrons:

  • spectroscopy and dynamics of light and heavy mesons

Searches for non-Standard Model physics via rare processes.
