Amiran Tomaradze's research focuses on several areas of experimental particle and nuclear physics. He performs his research at Cornell (Ithaca, New York), Fermilab (Chicago, Illinois), and CERN (Geneva, Switzerland).
At Fermilab, Tomaradze is participating in experiment E835, which does precision spectroscopy of charmonium states (systems of charmed quarks and antiquark) formed by proton-antiproton annihilations. The results of this experiment include precision measurements of the masses and widths of all the bound charmonium states.
At Cornell, Tomaradze is involved in searching for new states containing heavy quarks. The most recent result here is the discovery of the the etac-prime. This is the first new state of charmonium discovered in more than 25 years.
At CERN, Tomaradze has recently completed a major search for the effects of Bose-Einstein correlations in W+W- events.
