Eric Torrence

Eric Torrence is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Oregon, affiliated with the Institute for Fundamental Science. His research focuses on Experimental High Energy Physics, particularly within the ATLAS Collaboration at CERN. He holds a Ph.D. from MIT (1997) and has been at the University of Oregon since 2000.

His work centers on particle physics experiments at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), including studies of the Higgs boson, supersymmetry, and rare particle interactions. Key contributions include measurements of Higgs boson properties, top quark physics, and searches for new phenomena using ATLAS detector data. Notable projects involve analyzing collisions at 13 TeV, exploring topics like jet quenching, boson decays, and lepton flavor violation.

Prof. Torrence collaborates extensively with global teams, contributing to detector development, data analysis, and theoretical interpretations. His recent work includes studies on charge asymmetry in top-quark production, neutrino cross-section measurements with FASER, and detailed maps of Higgs interactions. His research bridges experimental and theoretical physics, advancing our understanding of fundamental particles and interactions.

Publications span over 1,850 articles, emphasizing precision measurements and explorations of physics beyond the Standard Model. He mentors graduate students and contributes to the ATLAS experiment’s strategic direction and technological advancements.
