Research Interests - Experimental High Energy Physics
T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) Neutrino Oscillation Experiment.
I am helping to design and build the ND280 detectors for this experiment.
I am investigating the physics potential of a future
Underground Nucleon Decay and Neutrino Oscillation (UNO) experiment
International Linear Collider ILC.
Particle ID and detector issues.
Past Projects
BaBar experiment. I worked on BaBar for many years
- helping to develop the innovative DIRC particle ID system from
early prototypes.
I was the Project Manager and Deputy Spokesperson for the Henderson Underground Science and Engineering Project (HUSEP ) Collaboration, that received one of only two awards award from the National Science Foundation to develop a conceptual design for a Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) (Henderson Mine, Colorado is a potential site
for both UNO and DUSEL). Unfortunately, in summer 2007 our proposal was declined
in favor of the Homestake site in North
Dakota.
I worked on the completed SLD experiment for many years too.
