معرفی
David W. Hertzog is the Arthur B. McDonald Distinguished Professor of Physics and Director of the Center for Experimental Nuclear Physics and Astrophysics (CENPA) at the University of Washington. He has held academic positions at the University of Illinois (1986–2010) and has been at UW since 2010. His research focuses on precision muon experiments, including the Fermilab Muon g-2 experiment and the PIONEER experiment studying rare pion decays. He has supervised numerous PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, contributing to groundbreaking measurements in particle physics.
- Education: Ph.D., Physics (1983), College of William and Mary; Research Associate at Carnegie Mellon University (1983–86).
Research Interests: High-precision muon experiments, Standard Model tests, lepton flavor universality, and CKM unitarity. Notable projects include the Muon g-2 experiment (measuring the muon’s anomalous magnetic moment) and the PIONEER experiment targeting rare pion decays to probe beyond-Standard-Model physics.
Articles and Trends: Recent work emphasizes refining the muon g-2 measurement to sub-ppm precision, with results challenging Standard Model predictions. Technical advancements in calorimetry and detector systems underpin these achievements. The PIONEER experiment aims to address lepton flavor universality violations and CKM unitarity tests.
- Awards: Tom W. Bonner Prize (2022), Guggenheim Fellowship (2004), APS Fellow (2000), and multiple teaching awards.
Advising/Grants: Supervised over 30 students and postdocs, with active roles in Fermilab and PSI collaborations. Contributions include detector design, data analysis, and leadership in international experiments.
Labs/Teams: CENPA and the UW Muon Physics Group, leading global collaborations like Muon g-2 and PIONEER.
