Prof. Krishna Kumar is an experimental particle/nuclear physicist. His current research focuses on precision measurements of weak neutral current interactions using fixed-target parity-violating electron scattering, and searches for neutrinoless double-beta decay.
- Are there (as yet undetected) super-weak forces at sub-attometer length scales that shaped the evolution of the early universe?
- Do neutrons in a heavy nucleus occupy a slightly larger volume than the protons, thus forming a "neutron skin"?
- Are neutrinos their own anti-particles?
- Is lepton number conserved?
- Can quarks, gluons, their motion and self-interactions account for the observed properties of the proton?
