particle at the LHC". Four McGill Physics faculty are part of the ATLAS
collaboration:
François Corriveau,
Steven Robertson,
Brigitte Vachon and
Andreas Warburton.
The BaBar collaboration received an award for "making the first direct
observation of time-reversal violation by measuring the rates at which the
B0 meson changes quantum states". Two McGill Physics faculty are
part of BaBar: Steve Robertson and Popat Patel
(deceased).
