Raymond L. "Chip" Brock (born August 2, 1950) is an American particle physicist and University Distinguished Professor at Michigan State University.[3] He worked on the DØ experiment at Fermilab and the ATLAS experiment at CERN. He served as chair of the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society in 2010 and is a Fellow of the American Physical Society.[4]
Early life and education
Brock was born on August 2, 1950, in Oak Park, Illinois.[5] He earned a Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from Iowa State University in 1972. After working as a sales engineer for Driv-Lok Inc., he returned to academia and received a Master of Science in physics and the philosophy of science from Northern Illinois University in 1975.[5] He then attended Carnegie Mellon University, earning a second master's degree in physics in 1977 and a PhD in elementary particle physics in 1980.[5]
Career
Following his doctoral work, Brock was a research associate at Fermilab from 1980 to 1982.[5] He joined Michigan State University in 1982 as an assistant professor of physics, was promoted to associate professor in 1986, and became a full professor in 1991.[5] He served as chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy from 1994 to 2001.[5] In 2011, he was named a University Distinguished Professor.[5]
Research
Brock's research focuses on experimental tests of the Standard Model of particle physics. In the early 1980s, he worked on Fermilab neutral current neutrino experiments E594 and served as spokesperson for experiment E733.[6] He subsequently became a member of the DØ collaboration, a proton–antiproton colliding beam experiment at Fermilab, where he worked for over 25 years.[7] He also joined the ATLAS collaboration at CERN, a proton–proton collider experiment at the Large Hadron Collider.[3]
Professional service
He served as chair of the American Physical Society's Division of Particles and Fields in 2010 and was chair of the U.S. ATLAS Institutional Board from 2014 to 2015.[3] He served twice on the Fermilab Users Executive Committee, chairing it once, and was a member of the Fermilab Physics Advisory Committee on two occasions.[7] From 2010 to 2013, he was the U.S. at-large representative to the International Committee on Future Accelerators.[8] He co-led the Energy Frontier working group for the 2013 Snowmass study on the future of U.S. particle physics.[9][10]
Awards and honors
Brock was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2000.[4] At Michigan State University, he received the Teacher-Scholar Award in 1985 and the Distinguished Faculty Award in 2004.[3]
