Thomas K. Gaisser

Professor 256 Sharp Lab (302) 831-8113 gaisser@bartol.udel.edu http://www.bartol.udel.edu/~gaisser/

Fields of Research

Dr. Gaisser is a particle physicist whose primary research interest is at the interface between particle physics and astrophysics. His contributions include the calculation of the expected spectrum of cosmic ray antiprotons in light of their properties as measured at accelerators; the calculation of the flux of neutrinos produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere; and studies of the role of very high energy particle interactions in astrophysical systems such as interacting binary stars and supernovas. In addition Dr. Gaisser has studied the role of particle interactions at ultra-high energy on the development of cosmic ray air showers in the atmosphere.

Dr. Gaisser maintains close contact with experimentalists involved in air shower experiments and in deep underground experiments. In addition, he participates in the South Pole Air Shower Experiment and related neutrino astronomy projects. Dr. Gaisser is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has served on several national and international panels and committees related to his research interests.
