Prof. Kharchilava's current
physics interest is focused on
searches for Higgs particle(s) that are predicted by the Standard Model
of particle physics and it's supersymmetric (SUSY) extensions. This
research is being carried out with the D0 experiment at the Fermilab
Tevatron collider where Prof. Kharchilava is involved in many aspects
of the detector construction, commissioning, software development, data
taking and analysis.
As a member of the
CMS Collaboration, Prof. Kharchilava is exploring the physics potential
of the experiment at CERN's future Large Hadron Collider. Again, these
include Higgs searches, unless it is discovered at the Tevatron, SUSY
signatures, b physics and CP violation, and the precision measurements
of the top quark properties.
