Frank J. Sciulli
Frank J. Sciulli (born August 22, 1938 in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania ) is an American experimental particle physicist .
Sciulli studied at the University of Pennsylvania with a bachelor's degree in 1960 and a master's degree in 1961, and received his doctorate in 1965 with experiments on K meson decays. From 1966 he was at Caltech , where he was assistant professor and later professor in 1969 . From 1981 he was a professor at Columbia University .
First, he dealt with selection rules for the weak interaction in hadrons. In the late 1960s he turned to deep inelastic neutrino scattering on nucleons. The results of the collaboration at Fermilab later known as CCFR had an impact on the underpinning of the quark model, neutral weak currents and quantum chromodynamics. Sciulli was involved until 1990. From 1985 he was involved in the Hera accelerator at DESY (Zeus Experiment). In 2004 he officially retired.
He is still scientifically active (2011), is on the Council of Fermilab and on the Advisory Committee of the Sanford Lab in the Homestake Mine in South Dakota, the site of the planned Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (Dusel). In 1995 he received the Panofsky Prize . He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and the American Association for the Advancement of Science and has been a member of the National Academy of Sciences since 2009 .
