Marjorie D. Shapiro

Marjorie Shapiro is a leader in particle physics, pioneering study of the Standard Model at Tevatron's Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) experiment and the ATLAS (AToroidal LHC ApparatuS) experiment at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)’s Large Hadron Collider. Her expertise on the strong interaction allowed first measurements of fragmentation of partons into jets of hadrons at ATLAS. She determined the luminosity, revealed underlying event characteristics and calibrated the jet energy scale: all key elements of searching for new physics in ATLAS and understanding Standard Model particle production processes.   An expert on B-meson physics and rare signals, Shapiro led the first observations of Bs oscillations at the CDF.
