BaBar at
SLAC. BABAR is an
experiment designed primarily to study bound states of b quarks, called
B mesons, produced in electron positron collisions by the PEP-II storage
ring. The experiment is located at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center
(SLAC), in Menlo Park, California. The BABAR collaboration
consists of about 600 physicists from 12 countries.

Mandelkern and Professor
Jonas
Schultz
Mark Mandelkern and Jonas Schultz
are involved in several elementary
particle physics experiments, at different stages, at a number of
accelerator
laboratories, namely: E760/835 at Fermilab, to perform precision
studies
of charmonium states formed in proton-antiproton annihilations; E862 at
Fermilab, to produce and detect antihydrogen atoms for the first time,
using proton-antiproton interactions in the E835 target; and the BaBar
experiment, being built at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, to
study
B meson physics and CP violation in an asymmetric electron-positron
collider.

Tests
of
Newtonian Gravity (distance, composition,
and spin dependence), the equivalence
principle,
and searches for new forces. The current focus of the program is
development
of torsion balances operating at cryogenic temperatures, for a new
generation
of experiments in these areas.

- Super-Kamiokande
Proton decay,
Solar neutrinos, Supernova neutrinos, and Neutrino oscillations. IMB
(Irvine-Michigan-Brookhaven)
and Kamiokande underground water Cerenkov experiments detected
neutrinos
from Supernova 1987A, for which the groups received the Rossi Prize. It
also has accumulated evidence for atmospheric neutrino oscillation.
- K2K,
KEK accelerator to Super-K detector long baseline neutrino oscillation
experiment, running in 1999.
- Neutrino
oscillation
experiment at the Chooz reactor in France which set strong limits
on
electron neutrinos disappearing through oscillation to another neutrino.
