Joseph Lykken (born June 17, 1957) is a theoretical physicist at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. He received his Ph.D. in 1982 from M.I.T. He works in the Fermilab Theory Department, and is a collaborator of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider. [1]
In 1996 Lykken proposed "weak scale superstrings," which posited extra dimensions of space within the reach of particle colliders, such as the Fermiab Tevatron, and the CERN Large Hadron Collider. This, and related ideas will be subject to direct and indirect experimental tests in the coming years.
Selected Publications
Lykken's publications are available on the SPIRES HEP Literature Database[1].
