Carl Bromberg has been a member
of the Department of Physics since 1979. His research has focused on
construction, data taking, and analysis of a number of HEP experiments at
Fermilab. In fixed target experiments, he measured
charmed particle cross sections (E743) and direct photon production in
hadronic collisions (E629, E706). In E706, Carl was responsible for the
trigger system, a large proportional & drift chamber spectrometer, three
high intensity beam hodoscopes, and two walls of counters tagging halo muons. During the 1990's he developed muon
detectors for collider experiments: pressurized drift tubes for the SSC and
scintillation counters for the Run II upgrade of CDF. Also, he constructed
electronics to control photomultiplier HV and discriminator threshold for all
muon counters in the upgrade. In 2004, Carl served as Deputy
Operations Manager for CDF and was instrumental in uncovering a solution for
the rapid aging of the COT primary tracking detector. By adding a small
amount (50 ppm) of Oxygen into the chamber gas, the COT recovered its
original performance. Currently, Carl is participating in the
design and construction of the NOvA neutrino oscillation experiment that will
measure the mixing angle theta-13, the neutrino mass hierarchy and will
search for CP violation in leptons, perhaps the origin of the
matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. In addition, he is developing
electronics for a liquid-argon time projection chamber, a technology that
promises to be more efficient and less costly per unit mass than traditional
detectors for neutrino oscillation, proton decay, and other rare reactions. Research activities - Description of current
