Melissa Franklin
Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics & Director of Graduate Studies
PhD 1982, Stanford University
Melissa Franklin is an experimental particle physicist
who has been working on the Collider
Detector at Fermilab, an experiment designed
generally to study the collisions of protons and
anti-protons at the highest energies currently possible.
With her graduate students and postdoctoral staff,
she is presently building a large cylindrical drift
chamber to measure the momentum of the outcoming
particles. She is also upgrading one of the central
muon detectors.
