History
Research Associate, SLAC, Stanford, 1979-1980; Research Associate, CERN,
1980-1982; Senior Research Fellow, California Institute of Technology,
1982-1985; Assistant Professor, SLAC, Stanford, 1985-1991; Associate Professor,
SLAC, Stanford, 1991-1997; Professor, SLAC, Stanford, 1997-present. Research Areas
Basic physics interests: Research carried out at PEP-II with the BaBar
Detector, heavy quark physics: beauty and charm, including production and
spectroscopy with special interest in pure leptonic decays, rare baryonic decays
and rare decays of charm and beauty mesons. Precision tests of the Standard
Model, the CKM Unitarity Triangle, and CP violation in heavy quark decays.
Instrumentation, R&D and technology interests: Muon system upgrade for BaBar.
Limited Streamer Tube readout. Applications of high-gain Si avalanche
photodiodes, wavelength shifter and fiber readout, inorganic scintillators (CsI,
and newer crystals) for calorimetry, heavy liquid calorimetry, all targeted for
high energy/luminosity, high radiation environments of e+e- storage ring
detectors and linear colliders.
