LESLIE GROER'S HOME PAGE

I am a post-Doc with Columbia University at the D0 Experiment at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory.  I completed my thesis at Rutgers University in 1998 in the Experimental High Energy Physics program of the Physics Department working with the CDF Collaboration, also at Fermilab.  My undergraduate degrees, B.Sc. Honours in Physics (1987) and B.Sc. Honours in Applied Mathematics (1988), are from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.
 

My Curriculum Vitae is available here.

My Ph.D. Thesis title is
A Search for Charged Higgs Boson Decays of the Top Quark using Hadronic Decays of the Tau Lepton in Proton-Antiproton Collisions at sqrt(s) = 1.8 TeV at CDF
written under the direction of Terry Watts and submitted to the Graduate School at Rutgers University October, 1998.

We published a paper (July 21, 1997) based on this work in
Physical Review Letters - F. Abe et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 79:357-362,1997.

There is a general discussion about the CDF search for the charged Higgs boson at high tan beta, with plots available from the public CDF Exotics web page.

I worked on the CDF Level 3 Trigger for both Run 1A and 1B.

I started up the CDF Graduate Student Theses Web Pages, which contains information on theses in progress at CDF, completed theses and a Tips for Writing a CDF Thesis page.

Check out my CDF Talk's page for various talks I gave over the last few years while at CDF. This page also contains a number of plots that might be useful in giving talks. A DØ Talks page is coming soon.
 
 

Since February 1995 to my graduation I was involved with the Fermilab Graduate Student Association as the Chairman of the Computing Classes Subcommittee. Please check out the GSA web pages and the pages on the computer classes and computer class subsidies that we have available.
 
 

A former roommate (Brian Gough) and I started up the Fermilab Computer Club in January 1996. We had about half a dozen very successful meetings but, unfortunately, the club is currently in suspended animation due to numerous factors, the greatest of which is my lack of time to arrange the needed bureaucracy as I am trying to finish my thesis and get a real job. Once I am gainfully employed (and if I am still at Fermilab, of course), I hope to start it up again. If anyone wants to take up the banner and run with it, please, please get in touch with me. Some remnants of the club remain as the above web page, Fermilab newsgroups fnal.orgs.fcc and fnal.orgs.fcc.linux and as a Fermilab mailing list fcc@fnal.gov.
 
 

I have set up all the Linux Gazette pages on my local machine for my own convenience. Sorry - this link has been disabled until I can find space on another server.
The Fermilab Linux Repository Linux Gazette mirror still exists.

Check out the Fermilab Linux Repositry - has some useful links.
Also, the Argonne Area Linux Users Group/Linux Users of Northern Illinois has some useful links.  

I am also a member of the Fermilab International Film Society Committee and maintain the web pages. Check out our schedule.
