UC Davis is a powerhouse for breakthroughs and impact. Our interdisciplinary research plays a vital role in building the region’s economy. Our L&S researchers describe the impact of their work, and the consequences if federal support for this cutting-edge research were reduced or eliminated.

UC Davis physicists working at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, recently completed a measurement that sets an upper limit on the size of one of the smallest particles known, the tau lepton.
