Nevis Laboratories is Columbia
University's primary center for the study of high-energy
experimental particle and nuclear physics. Faculty members,
postdoctoral research scientists, and graduate students,
supported by an engineering and technical staff, engage in
the preparation, design, and construction of high-energy particle and
nuclear experiments and equipment. These experiments and equipment are
transported to major national accelerator laboratories for data
collection; the data resulting from these experiments are then
processed and analyzed using the extensive computer systems at Nevis. Experiments are
currently taking place at Fermilab in
Chicago, Illinois;
CERN in Switzerland;
and Brookhaven National Lab
on Long Island in Upton, New York.
