The High Red Shift Supernova SearchIntroductionThe work described here is not just my work, but the collective effort of more than 20 people from around the globe with whom I work on the High-Z SN search. As the group's leader, I tend to get more than my fair share of the credit, but a project like this really represents the blood and sweat of many people. So if you are interested, have a browse, and learn about these powerful explosions and what they tell us about the ultimate fate of the Universe.
