LHCb
Our team is a member of the LHCb collaboration at CERN. My
involvement is with the proposed Magnet Station detector.
I do hardware design and construction.

Phenix and the FVTX, VTX, MVD, MuTR detectors
The
PHENIX
detector, one of
2 large experiments at RHIC,
a versatile accelerator at
Brookhaven National Lab,
operated from 2000 through 2016. Over the years, we built
several components of this detector, The Muon tracking system (MuTr),
the Multiplicity and Vertex detector (MVD), and finally,
The Forward Vertex detector (FVTX).

Aerogel
From 1985 to 1996 we were involved in experiments at CERN. For one of these,
NA44, we did
some nice R&D on the use of aerogel for imaging Cherenkov detectors.
Since then, I've maintained a few pages about aerogel.
In 2014, I picked up this thread again. R&D funds were available for development of detectors for the future EIC (electron-ion collider). I proposed to work on the development of a modular Cherenkov detector. When I retired, the baton was passed to GSU.
Outreach
I've been doing science outreach for a long time, ever since our kids were in
kindergarten. Here are the
outreach links.
| Mr. Science |
Weekly science hours
in 5th or 6th grade classes
Equipment you can borrow Posters you can borrow |
| WG tech club | After-school weekly tech activities, including 3D design and printing. Box, penguin, Skeleton |
| SF Children’s Museum | Monthly Science Saturdays, since 2016. |
| The Santa Fe Alliance for Science | A large group of science and engineering volunteers
working in the Santa Fe schools
Science videos we made during 2020 and 2021. Some tools we used SFAFS docs in Dropbox |
| Adopt-a-School | One of the SFAFS programs, where we concentrate efforts on one
particular school.
AAS overview |
| Make Santa Fe | This Maker Space has educational activities. I also use the equipment there for some LANL work. (A bit of history) |
