Group Leader of Experimental Elementary Particle Physics
Room 329 Physics Bldg., phone 315-443-5972

- Education:
- Brooklyn Technical High School (1959-1963)
- Brooklyn College (1963-1967)
- University of Rochester PhD in Physics (1972)
- Principal Research Activities:
- Is the co-spokesperson of the CLEO collaboration
- Is a member of the LHCb collaboration at CERN
- At the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, he searched for I=2 mesons using
Bubble Chambers and Streamer Chambers
- At Wilson Laboratory of Cornell Univerisity he has been working with the
CLEO collaboration since its beginning. He has made outstanding
contributions both to detector hardware and physics analysis. He
participated in the design and construction of the dE/dx wire proportional chambers for
the original detector. He conceived of and led the construction of the CsI
crystal calorimeter for the CLEO II upgrade. For CLEO III,
he directed the design construction of the Ring Imaging Cherenkov
Counter at Syracuse. His analysis efforts have been mostly
in the areas of B meson
decays, charm meson decays and Upsilon spectroscopy. This work includes the
discorvery of the B and Ds mesons and measurement of many properties of
their decays. Recently he led the group that made the first observations
of the purely leptonic decays D+ -> muon + neutrino, and Ds+ -> muon (or tau) + neutrino and measured their decay
rates.
- Currently is a member of the board of directors of the Fermilab Research Alliance, and
formally was on the Fermilab Board of Overseers.
- He was elected co-spokesperson of the BTeV experiment at Fermilab
and acted in this capacity from 1997 until 2005 when the activity was
aborted.
- Received Chancellor's Citation for Exceptional Academic Achievement
in Feb. 2003. See
article.
- Edited and contributed to the book "B Decays', both 1st and 2nd
editions, published by World Scientific, Singapore.
