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.
