Research Areas
Theoretical physics: hadron physics, especially short distance
constituent structure, B physics, particle production mechanisms in high
energy collisions, diffractive processes, and disoriented chiral condensate
(DCC) production; hydrodynamic picture of heavy ion collisions; cosmology,
especially structure of universes and black holes. Experimental physics:
searches for axions and for DCC; conceptual design of detectors which
observe complete events in high energy hadron collisions. Accelerator
physics: Theory of beam growth due to intrabeam scattering.
