June 2009: Cornell particle detector research prompts 500 (and counting) peer-reviewed paper submiss
A collaboration of particle physicists who have used CLEO subatomic particle detectors at Cornell to probe the limits of matter are celebrating the 500th scientific paper submitted to a peer-reviewed journal in the collaboration's three-decade history. This number of papers is larger than that of any other elementary particle physics collaboration.
The 500th paper, titled " Improved Measurements of Semileptonic Decays of D Mesons to pi and K Mesons", was submitted to Physical Review D and describes precise measurements that are key to understanding fundamental parameters in elementary particle theory. Full article
