About Paul Grannis
- Paul D.
- Grannis (26 June 1938) is an American physicist.Grannis received the B.
- Eng.
- Phys., with Distinction, from Cornell University in 1961 and Ph.D.
- from University of California, Berkeley in 1965 under the supervision of Owen Chamberlain with thesis Measurement of the Polarization Parameter in Proton-Proton Scattering from 1.7 to 6.1 BeV.
- Since 1966 Grannis has been at Stony Brook University (SUNY at Stony Brook).
- He has been a visiting scientist at CERN (ISR, LEP Collider), Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermilab, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, University College London and Imperial College London. In 1983, he was asked to form a collaboration to design and build a collider detector at the D0 intersection region of the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider, complementary to the planned CDF detector.
- As spokesman for D0 from 1983 to 1993, and co-spokesman with Hugh Montgomery from 1993 to 1996, Grannis led the D0 experiment from its inception through the end of Tevatron Run I.
- D0 extended our understanding of particle physics through its co-discovery with CDF of the top quark in 1995; precise measurements of the W boson mass and couplings; extensive studies of QCD using jets, gauge bosons and b-quarks; and searches for a variety of signatures of new physics.
- From 2014 he has again served as co-spokesperson of D0, with Dmitri Denisov.
