Paul D.
Grannis (26 June 1938) is an American physicist.Grannis received the B.
Eng.
Phys., with Distinction, from Cornell University in 1961 and Ph.D.
from University of California, Berkeley in 1965 under the supervision of Owen Chamberlain with thesis Measurement of the Polarization Parameter in Proton-Proton Scattering from 1.7 to 6.1 BeV.
Since 1966 Grannis has been at Stony Brook University (SUNY at Stony Brook).
He has been a visiting scientist at CERN (ISR, LEP Collider), Brookhaven National Laboratory, Fermilab, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, University College London and Imperial College London. In 1983, he was asked to form a collaboration to design and build a collider detector at the D0 intersection region of the Fermilab proton-antiproton collider, complementary to the planned CDF detector.
As spokesman for D0 from 1983 to 1993, and co-spokesman with Hugh Montgomery from 1993 to 1996, Grannis led the D0 experiment from its inception through the end of Tevatron Run I.
D0 extended our understanding of particle physics through its co-discovery with CDF of the top quark in 1995; precise measurements of the W boson mass and couplings; extensive studies of QCD using jets, gauge bosons and b-quarks; and searches for a variety of signatures of new physics.
From 2014 he has again served as co-spokesperson of D0, with Dmitri Denisov.
