Chad Jeremy Johnson (born January 13, 1978) is an American particle physicist and noted photographer. He is best known for his work in the search for a neutral long-lived particle produced in decays of Higgs Boson. His work was primarily at the Fermilab Tevatron Collider in Batavia Illinois, from 2002 to 2008. Education Chad has a PhD in high energy particle physics from Columbia University. His undergraduate physics training was at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities Campus. His work has been published in the American Physical Society Journal. Career Physics Johnson’s work was concentrated on the theoretical particle created in the decays of Higgs boson; specifically in collisions that decay to b-jets and the particle that lives long enough to travel at least 1.6 cm before decaying into heavy quarks. The Higgs Boson is an elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics. Its existence was discovered in 2012 by the ATLAS and CMS experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.. Johnson’s novel search for the unnamed particle is theorized to arise in the “hidden valley” sector of particle physics. Johnson’s work involved mapping center-of-mass energy of 1.96TeV. Johnson worked with the DØ experiment, located at one of the interaction regions, where proton and antiproton beams intersect, on the Tevatron synchrotron ring, labeled 'DØ'. In 2012, he founded The Commercial Art Lab, which specializes in jewelry photography. His work has been published in Elite Traveler, Rapaport, Marie Claire, New York Magazine, French Vogue, and National Jeweler.
