D. Koltick works in experimental nuclear and particle physics, focusing on precision measurements of nuclear decay rates, neutron production from cosmic rays and dark matter interactions, and searches for exotic physics such as hidden particles (familons) and dark energy effects on nuclear transitions. Much of this work involves detector development, including high-purity germanium (HPGe) spectrometers, and tests of whether nuclear decay rates vary due to neutrino/antineutrino fluxes or environmental factors. This research connects fundamental particle physics questions to practical nuclear measurement techniques and detector technology.
Publication output has been modest and irregular over the last decade, with a cluster of activity around 2016-2018, a lull in 2019-2020, and a slow but continuing trickle of one to two papers per year since 2021.
