Past Research Projects
Throughout its history, PSL has played a role in some of the world’s most exciting scientific and engineering endeavors. From exploring the mysteries of the universe to developing technologies that support future energy solutions, our teams have worked alongside researchers and innovators to solve complex challenges and build one-of-a-kind systems. The projects featured below highlight the breadth of PSL’s expertise and the lasting impact of our collaborations across science, engineering, and technology.
LHC Compound Muon Solenoid
The CMS experiment at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider studies the fundamental particles of the universe through high-energy collisions. PSL led the design, integration, assembly, and installation of the detector’s massive endcaps.
Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment
The Daya Bay Neutrino Experiment investigates neutrino oscillations to better understand the fundamental nature of matter. PSL provided the engineering, design, and fabrication expertise behind the experiment’s antineutrino detector systems.
Antarctic Glaciological Research: Shot Hole Drill
PSL designed and built the Shot Hole Drill to support Antarctic glaciological research by rapidly drilling precise holes in ice for seismic studies. The system enables researchers to better understand the structure and movement of ice sheets.
