About
Paul F. Slattery is a Professor of Physics at the University of Rochester, holding roles such as Department Chair (1986-1998) and Dean of Research and Graduate Studies in Arts, Sciences, and Engineering. He earned his BS from the University of Notre Dame (1962), and MS/PhD from Yale University (1963/1967). His research focuses on experimental high-energy physics, including hadron spectroscopy, particle production mechanisms, and collider experimentation at facilities like Fermilab and CERN. Key contributions include discovery of charge particle multiplicity scaling and leadership in experiments like Fermilab E706 and the D-Zero collaboration.
- Educations: BS Physics (Notre Dame, 1962), MS/PhD Physics (Yale, 1963/1967)
Research explores diffractive production, direct photon studies, and applications of perturbative QCD. Current involvement includes the CMS Collaboration at CERN's LHC and leadership in online computing for the D-Zero experiment. Awards include the Guggenheim Fellowship and University of Rochester's Goergen Award.
- Awards: Leigh Page Prize (1963), APS Fellowship (1985), Guggenheim (1992), Goergen Award (1997)
Advisory roles include Fermilab's Board of Overseers (1989-95) and US CMS Collaboration membership. Active in major facilities like SLAC, Fermilab, and CERN through visiting appointments and experimental leadership.
