...Harvard contributors to the project--professor of Physics John E. Huth and Senior Research Fellow in Physics George W. Brandenburg--announced the results to a capacity crowd of 300 at a press conference in Jefferson Hall in April...
Brandenburg, Huth and Professor of Physics Melissa Franklin helped design the three story high 5,000-ton detector which recorded the quarks emitted...
...search for the top quark taught its hunters the true meaning of the word marathon. "This has been a part of my life for so long," says Harvard University physicist John Huth, "that there's a sense of exhaustion." The time scientists once spent working with the detector is now consumed by meetings, some 20 a week.When the CDF team comes together, it is so large it must convene in the Fermilab auditorium, and the result sometimes resembles pandemonium. The 152-page paper reporting evidence for the top quark was sent off to the Physical Review two weeks...
...There was a point in the analysis when mostpeople were sort of skeptical of top because therewasn't any evidence, but then there was a certainpoint when evidence started to pile up, when allof a sudden people started to think maybe there'ssomething here," Huth said. "That was ratherexciting because all of a sudden there was animmediate rush to put the pieces together in someway...
...Huth said there to four times more data muststill be collected before the top quark'sexistence can be officially confirmed. Only whenthe particle's existence is completely assured canphysicists begin further research on the nature ofmatter in the universe, Huth said...
