Peter McNamara

Dr. Peter McNamara is a Research Fellow in Nuclear Physics at ANU, contributing to major particle physics collaborations including ATLAS and SABRE. His expertise spans dark matter detection, neutrino physics, and Higgs boson research.

McNamara leads background characterization for the SABRE South experiment at the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory, developing low-background techniques for dark matter searches. His work on ATLAS detector simulations enhances Higgs boson analysis capabilities.

Publications demonstrate consistent focus on experimental particle physics methodologies, from simulation frameworks to background suppression in rare-event detection. Current projects advance directional neutrino detection using gas time projection chambers.
