How to become a BaBar Member or Associate
There are two categories of people connected to BaBar, Members and Associates. Members are individuals who
participate in the physics program or
who contribute significantly to the maintenance, operation or upgrade
of the
detector, computing system, or PEP-II. PhD
physicists who have been Members for at least one year are listed as
authors of BaBar papers. As a condition of membership, Members are
required to perform service work as part of their contribution to the
experiment.
BaBar Associates are
generally not authors. Typical examples are
undergraduates, graduate students not concentrating on research,
engineers, technicians, and programmers.
See the Membership
Rules for more details.
Changing from Associate to Member
If you are a currently a BaBar Associate
and wish to become a Member,

need to sign up for service work.
Once you have a project in mind, email a

all of the necessary steps when you became an Associate.
