California State University (CSU) is the largest public university system
in the US with 23 campuses and ~460,000 students with very large minority and first generation college student
populations. Among all the 23 CSU campuses, Fresno State joined ATLAS in 2007 as the only CSU campus on ATLAS or CMS,
the two flagship LHC experiments designed to search for new physics. To provide the outstanding ATLAS/LHC research
opportunities to a wider CSU community, we have been building up the CSU Nuclear and Particle Physics Consortium (NUPAC)
since 2008. 19 other CSU campuses (Bakersfield, Channel Islands, Chico, Dominguez Hills, East Bay, Humboldt, Long Beach,
Los Angeles, Northridge, Pomona, Sacramento, San Bernardino, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, San Luis Obispo,
San Marcos, Sonoma, and Stanislaus) have joined the consortium. The 19 other CSU NUPAC campuses and the liaison faculty
at these campuses are listed below. |
