Biography
EDUCATION:
Ph.D. 1965 University of Pennsylvania
Experimental Particle Physics
RESEARCH:
My interests are and have been primarily in those aspects of
elementary particles that relate to the tiniest constituents of
matter and to the forces that the constituents use to communicate.
During and after graduate school, these interests led me to
investigate the selection rules by which the weak interactions are
governed, particularly as demonstrated by the hadrons. The rules for
changes in electric charge, strangeness, and isotopic spin that such
experiments demonstrated were important in later giving credibility
to the quarks as the elementary constituents of hadronic matter.
In the late 1960's, I began to concentrate on experimental
studies of the deep inelastic scattering of leptons (neutrinos) by
nucleons. This technique has been a principle instrument in
understanding and verifying many aspects of particles and forces
which are presently part of the Standard Model: (1) the validity of
the quark hypothesis, (2) the existence of neutral-current weak
interactions as predicted from synthesis of the weak and
electromagnetic interactions, and (3) behavior of the strong force
among quarks within the nucleon. My work on this program, which in
its latter days came to be called the CCFR collaboration, continued
until about 1990. More recently, this work was completed by
Professors Shaevitz and Conrad from Columbia in the NuTev program.
In
about 1985, I began working to prepare for the advent of a new era in
deep inelastic scattering with the HERA accelerator. The machine was
commissioned in 1991, and the ZEUS experiment began operation at that
time. I have worked on taking and using HERA data since then. This
novel collider permits observation of electron-proton collisions at
energies more than a factor of 10 higher than previously available. My
work at Columbia was done in collaboration with several past and
present colleagues at Columbia, including Professors Caldwell and
Parsons, and many other physicists throughout the world. We had an
important role at Columbia in designing and constructing
instrumentation, in accumulating and analyzing data for the ZEUS
experiment, and in producing new scientific results. The first few
years of operation demonstrated a new region of structure within the
proton and new mechanisms to describe that structure. Later, we
explored the scattering at energy transfers larger than the energies of
the weak bosons. The high event rates have permitted measurements of
structure functions in unexplored kinematic regimes, unique tests of
the Standard Model, and sensitivity to phenomena that lie outside the
Standard Model that are complementarity to other techniques exploring
these energy regimes.
Since choosing emeritus status in 2004 and the completion of HERA
operations, I have completed several analyses with ZEUS data with
completing PhD students and look forward to more analyses from the
data. I also have continued relationships with the Fermilab
Research Alliance (on the Fermilab Board of Trustees) and with the
Sanford Laboratory, the site of the future national deep underground
lab (as co-chair of the Experimental Advisory Committee).
