Robert Carey

About

Robert Carey is a professor in the Department of Physics at Boston University. His research focuses on muon data and experiments, including work at Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermilab, and the Paul Scherrer Institut. He is currently working on a new Muon to Electron Conversion experiment, which is one of the flagship experiments in the future Fermilab program. This experiment has received initial approval at the DOE and is in the process of obtaining full funding for detailed engineering design. Rob Carey has a background in high energy physics, having previously worked on collider physics at the Fermilab Tevatron (CDF). Over the past 22 years, his research has been centered on high energy experiments at low energy, specifically Muon g-2 and MuLan. He is also involved in mentoring students as the adviser to Photon, the local chapter of the Society of Physics Students. His contributions to the field have been recognized with awards such as the Boston University Neu Family Teaching Award in 2001. He holds a BA from Harvard College and a PhD from Harvard University.

  We present the first measurement of the negative pion total hadronic cross section on argon in a restricted phase space, which we performed at the Liquid Argon In A Testbeam (LArIAT) experiment. All hadronic reaction channels, as well as hadronic elastic interactions with scattering angle greater than 5\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{} are included. The pions have kinetic energies in the range 100--700 MeV and are produced by a beam of charged particles impinging on a solid target at the Fermi…

  Dopamine, a precursor of the sympathetic neurotransmitter, norepinephrine, is itself a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system (1). It also acts in a transmitter or hormonal role to inhibit prolactin secretion by a direct action at the pituitary lactotroph (2). Although the presence of dopamine-secreting neurons in the periphery is still controversial, the presence of discrete peripheral vascular dopamine receptors that mediate dilation in several vascular beds (e.g., renal and mesenteric…

  Abstract—This report presents the results of an experiment aimed at observation of the muon catalyzed 3Hed fusion reaction 3He + $$\mu d \to $$ $$^{3}{\text{He}}\mu d \to {{\,}^{4}}{\text{He}}$$ (3.66 MeV) + p (14.64 MeV) + μ which might occur after a negative muon stop in the D2 + 3He gas mixture. The basic element of the experimental setup is a Time Projection Chamber (TPC) which can detect the incoming muons and the products of the fusion reaction. The TPC operated with the D2 + 3He (5%) gas…
