Expertise: Experimental Particle Physics: Prof. Renshaws research focuses on advanced detector development for direct detection searches for dark matter particles and experimental neutrino physics. He is currently a member of the DarkSide Collaboration (http://darkside.lngs.infn.it), which operates a liquid argon time projection chamber detector located at the Gran Sasso Underground National Laboratory (https://www.lngs.infn.it/en) in Italy, attempting to directly detect weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for dark matter. Prof. Renshaw is also a member of the DUNE Collaboration (http://www.dunescience.org), an experiment currently being designed and developed for future high-precision neutrino measurements. Finally, Prof. Renshaw is a member of the CACHE project, a table-top scale experiment looking at the K-capture process of 131Cs with the aim of detecting a keV-scale mass sterile neutrino, also a viable candidate for dark matter.
