I'm John Krane, a former member of Iowa State University's Alpha Group in High Energy Physics. I performed my research at the DØ Experiment ("DZero") located at Fermilab.

From 2001 until Feb. 15, 2003, I was one of two convenors of the QCD group for Run II. The QCD group studies the strong nuclear force and the structure of matter via proton-antiproton collsions and the resulting gamma rays and sprays of hadronic particles (called "jets"). I worked with jets and calorimetry from 1995 until 2003, and wrote my doctoral thesis on the scaling behavior of jets with center-of-mass energy of the colliding particle beams.

The material of my Fermilab web page is divided in several major sections:

• Krane's News provides a running dateline. It is not clear if I will update this page or this site frequently in the future. Eventually, I will renounce my Fermilab computing privileges...

• My Physics Page has info about my current research and service work. This jump-point has some links to controlled areas, so not everyone will have access!

• I archive several useful techniques on my Computing Page.

• There is a special page for physics results; here you can find the approved plots of the ratio of scaled invariant cross sections at 630 and 1800 GeV.

• My Funpage, with links to interesting (to me) websites. These days, it is mostly sports cars and Jeeps...

If you want to know more about the world of High Energy Physics, an extensive pile of webpages is available:

• The DØ QCD Homepage

• Our experiment's web site: the DØ Home Page

• I am one of three founders of the Young Physicists Panel. We are activists concerned with the future direction of HEP. Our group was very active at Snowmass 2001.

• The laboratory's home page: Fermilab
