T. J. Humanic

T. J. Humanic works in high-energy nuclear and particle physics, studying what happens when heavy ions or protons are smashed together at very high energies in experiments like ALICE at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Much of the work focuses on identifying and measuring subatomic particles produced in these collisions (such as kaons and other 'strange' particles) and using techniques like femtoscopy, a method that measures the size and lifetime of the tiny fireball of matter created in a collision, to learn about how particles interact and how nuclear matter behaves.

Publication output has grown substantially over the last decade, rising from around 24-30 papers per year in 2017-2019 to a peak of 76 in 2023, reflecting a large increase in collaborative output in recent years.
