W. Anthony Mann

W. Anthony Mann is a Professor in the Department of Physics & Astronomy at Tufts University, affiliated with the School of Arts and Sciences. He has held this position since 1986, following roles as Associate Professor (1979–1986) and Assistant Professor (1974–1979). His research focuses on experimental high-energy physics, including neutrino oscillations, neutrino-nucleus interactions, and searches for baryon instability. He has contributed to major experiments like NOvA and MINERvA, investigating fundamental particle interactions and symmetries.

Education: PhD (1970), MS (1967), and BS (1965) from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Yale University, respectively.

Research interests include designing and analyzing experimental measurements to uncover new particles and refine understanding of known particles’ properties. Recent work involves neutrino cross-section measurements and oscillation parameter studies.

Grants: Multiple U.S. Department of Energy awards (e.g., 1992–2015, 2018–2021) support his high-energy physics research. Professional activities include membership in the American Physical Society and roles in the NEUTRINO 2015 conference.

Teaching: Courses include Advanced Classical Mechanics, Quantum Physics II, and Particle Physics I. He mentors graduate students in research and thesis work.

Labs/Teams: Active in collaborations like NOvA and MINERvA, contributing to detector design and data analysis.
