Publications

I am author of more than 1300 publications, through my contributions to physics measurements, searches for new physics interactions and particles, building and operating detector systems, and development and implementation of event and object selection algorithms.  Below, I list just a subset of publications of which my students, post docs, researchers, and I have been primary authors: developing, completing, and defending the analysis, and writing the publications.
