R. F. Lang works on experimental particle astrophysics, focusing on searching for dark matter using large liquid xenon detectors (such as XENONnT). The research also touches on related topics like neutrino physics, testing fundamental quantum theories, and developing methods for detecting rare physical signals from supernovae or nuclear recoils. This work combines large-scale detector experiments with theoretical modeling of possible new physics signals.
