DOE, July 23, 2003, P.Tipton2 A Rich Tradition Long history of HEP at UR, starting with Lee DuBridge who built one of the first cyclotrons in 1935 at UR DuBridge hired outstanding faculty, including S. Barnes, F. Seitz, V. Weisskopf, R. Marshak and J. Platt In 1948, a larger cyclotron was built In 1950 Marshak as department chair initiated the annual Rochester Conferences in High Energy Physics, which brought leading HEP physicists from around the world to campus

DOE, July 23, 2003, P.Tipton3 Evolution of the Program In 1950 the ONR contract was replaced by one from the Atomic Energy Commission, which subsequently led to funding from the Department of Energy. NSF funding of HEP at UR started in Carrying on the tradition of Marshak, Weisskopf et al, we are still trying to identify and address the most important questions in our field: –How is electroweak symmetry broken? –Is the SM a low-energy approximation to a more exact theory? –Is the large top mass a clue as to what is behind the SM? –Is what we are seeing ONLY SM top?
