Research Overview
Professor Garcia-Bellido studies the properties and interactions of the fundamental building blocks of matter. His research is primarily conducted at the Large Hadron Collier at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, focusing on the study of the production of new states of matter using the world's highest energy proton beams. In particular, he is working on searches for new heavy particles that could explain dark matter, and in precision studies of the top quark, the heaviest elementary particle.
