Research Interests:
Production and decay of heavy-quark states in electron-positron annihilations. We use the CLEO II detector at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR) to study the properties of particles composed of b quarks. Our specific focus is testing the Standard Model of quarks and leptons, primarily by making precise determinations of its parameters. In addition to contributing to current theoretical progress, these studies are laying the foundation for understanding CP violation and other mysteries of particle physics. We are now collaborating on the construction of the CLEO III detector, to extend our investigations to much greater sensitivity as part of the CESR Phase III symmetric B Factory upgrade. In the longer-term future we expect to continue these studies at very high-luminosity electron-positron colliders or in hadronic collisions at the Tevatron with the BTeV experiment.
