Biography
Peter Meyers is a Professor of Physics at Princeton University. After years of working on accelerator-based experiments at Fermilab and Brookhaven, he has moved to the exciting subfield of direct searches for Dark Matter. Working with the Princeton Particle Astrophysics group (see Profs. Calaprice and Galbiati) and others, he is developing new devices to detect the very-low-energy nuclear recoils from the elastic scattering of "Weakly Interacting Massive Particles" (WIMPs), a promising model for the Dark Matter.
Research Interest
