John Yelton

John Yelton is a Professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Florida, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. He holds a PhD from the University of Oxford (1981) and leads research in High Energy Physics and Astrophysics. His work focuses on particle physics collaborations such as CLEO, CMS at CERN, and the Belle/Belle II experiments. His research emphasizes charmed particle spectroscopy, supersymmetry (SUSY) searches, and advanced detector technologies.

Education:

• PhD in Physics, University of Oxford, England (1981)

Research Interests: For two decades (1988-2008), Yelton specialized in CLEO collaboration studies of B meson decays and charmed baryons, discovering multiple new states. Since 2008, his group has focused on CMS at CERN, particularly SUSY searches for same-sign lepton events with jets and missing energy. He also contributes to Belle II's exploration of particle physics frontiers.

Publications: His work spans over 30 years, with key contributions to charmed particle spectroscopy and collider physics. Recent efforts target SUSY validation through high-energy collision data analysis.
