Prof. David H Saxon Home Page Prof. I have been in Glasgow since 1990 having previously worked in Oxford University, Columbia University, New York, and Rutherford Appleton Laboratory. Research interests I work in Experimental Particle Physics , principally on high energy electron-proton interactions using the ZEUS Detector at DESY, Hamburg.
Current work focusses on the internal quark and gluon structure of the photon.
For the future, we are working towards the Atlas experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider , to explore the origin of mass and the forces which control nature. Further afield I am convener of the University Chapel and Chaplaincy Committee and a member of the Gifford Lecture Committee. I am a member of the Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council and chairman of its Panel on the Public Understanding of Science, a member of the Council for the Central Laboratory of the Research Councils, and chairman of its Particle Physics Users Advisory Committee, and a member of the Medical Research Council's Discipline Hopping Panel. I am Chairman of the Governing Committee of the Scottish Universities Summer Schools in Physics. I serve on the Royal Society of Edinburgh Meetings Committee and organise its workshops on Particle Physics.
