Research Activities:

I have participated in particle physics experiments since 1967-1968. The 
experiments have been done with bubble chambers, BNL 80" and 31", FNAL Hybrid 
30" system, Argonne 12', the SLAC 40" Hybrid system, and the CERN Rapid Cycling 
Bubble chamber. I was also part of the SDC Collaboration at the SSC. I also 
participated in the photoproduction experiments E687 and E831 at FNAL. I was 
also part of the BTeV experiment at FNAL. Recently I have become associated with 
the US CMS contingent and have joined the NOvA experiment at FNAL.


My work has been concentrated in two main areas: 1) The production 
of mesonic states, what states are there and their production dynamics by 
various types of mechanisms, and 2) Simulation efforts from SDC to BTeV.  The 
simulations expertise has been extended to work on background simulations for 
NASA satellites.
