Mark Oreglia is Deputy Dean for PSD Infrastructure at the University of Chicago, a member of the ATLAS experiment at CERN and Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Physics, Enrico Fermi Institute, and the College. His main interest is the search for new physics, particularly alternative models to the minimal Standard Model or minimal supersymmetric SM, continuing his work on searches for SM and exotic Higgs bosons at LEP.
Oreglia also leads efforts to upgrade the ATLAS detector’s hadronic calorimeter to meet the needs and challenges of the High-Luminosity LHC which will have much higher collision rates than the current LHC. His group is prototyping radiation-hard electronics that can record and transmit data at very high bandwidths. As of 2018, we have been conducting radiation tests of prototypes and demonstrating their functionality in particle beams. Oreglia is the US-ATLAS level-2 manager for the hadron calorimeter upgrade, and the International ATLAS manager for hadron calorimeter upgrade resources.
He was formerly involved in planning and detector R&D for the International Linear Collider and was co-spokesperson of the American Linear Collider Physics Group and a member of the CALICE R&D collaboration as well as editor of the SiD detector concept SiD Technical Design Report. Prior to my ILC activity, I enjoyed exploring methods to construct a Higgs factory by colliding muons.
Professor Oreglia is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.
