Don Lincoln

Don Lincoln, senior scientist at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and adjunct professor of physics at the University of Notre Dame, conducts his research using the Compact Muon Solenoid detector located at the Large Hadron Collider. His scientific interest is broad, spanning such questions as the nature of dark matter, understanding why we see no antimatter in the universe and whether the familiar quarks and leptons are composed of even smaller particles. In addition to his contributions to Live Science and Space.com (http://space.com/topics/expert-voices-don-lincoln), you can follow him on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/Dr.Don.Lincoln.
