University of Iowa physicist Usha Mallik is at the forefront in the search to confirm the existence of a particle believed to give mass to all matter. Her group helped build and operates a sub-detector at the Large Hadron Collider, a particle accelerator in Switzerland, to search for bottom quarks, which are thought to appear when a Higgs boson decays.
