Moataz Emam

Moataz Emam, Physics Department, in collaboration with recent physics graduate Charles Canestaro ’13, jointly wrote “The Five Dimensional Universal Hypermultiplet and the Cosmological Constant Problem,” which was published in the journal Physics Letters B. The paper is based on research Canestaro conducted during his junior and senior years on the Cosmological Constant problem. This involves the apparent discrepancy between the measured rate of expansion of the universe and the theoretically calculated rate. The work proposes a solution to this problem based on the possible existence of higher dimensional supersymmetric fields and their effect on our universe from the “outside.”
