British particle physicist Adrian McKemey
Adrian McKemey. British particle physicist Adrian McKemey with one of the caesium iodide scintillat- ion crystals he has helped produce and maintain. These crystals give out pulses of light when they are hit by charged particles and radiation. Thousands of the crystals have been installed in the BaBar particle detector at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), California, USA. McKemey is a visiting professor at Stanford Univ- ersity. BaBar will detect the B mesons and anti-B mesons that result from positron-electron collisions. If B mesons decay at a different rate from anti-B mesons, this may explain why there is more matter than antimatter. Photographed in 1999

14"x12" (36x31cm) Antique Frame
Bevelled wood effect frame, card mounted, 10x8 archival quality photo print. Overall outside dimensions 14x12 inches (36x31cm). Environmentally and ozone friendly, the Polycore® moulding has the look of real wood, is durable and light and easy to hang. Biodegradable and made with non-chlorinated gases (no toxic fumes) it is efficient; producing 100 tons of polystyrene can save 300 tons of trees! Prints are glazed with lightweight, shatterproof, optical clarity acrylic (providing the same general protection from the environment as glass). The back is stapled hardboard with a sawtooth hanger attached. Note: To minimise original artwork cropping, for optimum layout, and to ensure print is secure, the visible print may be marginally smaller

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases British particle physicist Adrian McKemey with one of the remarkable caesium iodide scintillation crystals that he has played a crucial role in producing and maintaining. These extraordinary crystals possess the incredible ability to emit pulses of light upon being struck by charged particles and radiation. Thousands of these cutting-edge crystals have been meticulously installed within the BaBar particle detector at the prestigious Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) located in California, USA. As a visiting professor at Stanford University, McKemey's expertise and dedication are invaluable to this groundbreaking project. The primary objective of BaBar is to detect both B mesons and anti-B mesons resulting from positron-electron collisions. By closely examining whether B mesons decay at a different rate compared to their antimatter counterparts, scientists hope to unravel one of the most profound mysteries in physics - why there exists an abundance of matter over antimatter in our universe. This awe-inspiring photograph was taken back in 1999, capturing McKemey's passion for his work as he stands proudly beside this significant scientific achievement. It serves as a testament not only to his contributions but also to the collective efforts made by researchers worldwide who tirelessly strive towards unraveling the secrets of our universe through innovative advancements like these scintillation crystals.
