Jeffrey Richman is an American particle physicist and a professor in the Physics Department at The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). He is best known for his research on the properties of the bottom quark using the BaBar experiment at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and his research looking for supersymmetry and other new physics using the Compact Muon Solenoid at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.
Biography[edit]
Richman received his Ph.D. from the California Institute of Technology in 1985 and his B.S. from Yale in 1979. He was a postdoctoral fellow at CERN and at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.[1] He has been a faculty member in the UCSB Physics Department since 1991.
Richman worked for many years on measurements of heavy-quark physics and matter-antimatter asymmetries in the BaBar experiment at SLAC and the CLEO experiment at Cornell Electron Storage Ring. He served as the Physics Coordinator and Deputy Physics Coordinator at BaBar during the period that BaBar and the Belle Experiment established the nature of the particle-antiparticle asymmetry known as CP violation. As a direct result of these experiments, theoretical physicists Makoto Kobayashi and Toshihide Maskawa shared the 2008 Nobel Prize in Physics for their research predicting that a third generation of quarks could lead to such a CP violation.[2]
