Talk:Roy Schwitters

message: The 4 quick changes that I listed above that I have made to this page, are what seemed essential quick changes that needed to be made on this page to get it up to date and reasonably close to information that is already Public in the Official Death Notice at UT Austin, and also Public in the local Austin American Statesman newspaper.
The updates 2. and 3. in the list above to update Roy's career information on his work on the MARK I detector experiment on the SPEAR collider at Stanford SLAC Lab, and his work as the initial Head of the CDF experiment at Fermilab. These are just initial Placeholder paragraphs that can be further updated with more information added by other Editors to give more details on Roy's work on these 2 experiments.
There is also additional information about Roy's career after the SSC Super Collider was canceled, including more information about his work on the JASON Project, and the Maya Muon project. But also.
Roy was the leader of the development of a new type of RICH Ring Cerenkov detector on the HERA-B experiment on the HERA accelerator at the DESY Lab in Germany, where
HERA-B was the Prototype Development Experiment to test the new design for the
RICH detector, and other detector sub-systems, on the LHC-B experiment on the LHC accelerator.
So the RICH detector on the HERA-B experiment was the Prototype for the 
RICH detector on the current LHC-B experiment on LHC at CERN.
Roy was the Leader of the development of this new RICH detector system prototype
in the High Energy Physics Lab at UT Austin.
Also, Roy led the Research group in the UT Austin High Energy Physics Lab that was
working on the BaBar B-factory experiment at SLAC which discovered
CP-Violation in B Mesons that also resulted in a Nobel Prize in around 2008.
So there are a number of other Significant Career accomplishments that can be added here to Roy's Career information.
But the 2 edit changes I already added to this page,
changes 2 and 3 in  the list above ...
needed to be added quickly to keep this Bio page
close to current with the information 
Already Public in the latest Public Death Notices and Obituarys.
So my apologies for these quick changes listed above, but
I thought this was time critical, because
the Public Death Notice and Obituary information already had
much more significant information on Roy's career then any
of the previous information on this Bio page here.
So I can provide additional information for any other 
Editors who wish to make additional Career information or other updates
to this Bio page here. Mselover (talk) 11:53, 19 January 2023 (UTC)

message: Dr. Roy F. Schwitters has unfortunately passed away as of January 10, 2023. Dr. Schwitters was a well-respected and loved physics professor of many faculty, students, and staff within the physics department at the University of Texas at Austin over the course of several decades. He was also one of the early pioneers in the field of high-energy physics. He will be greatly missed all around. As to his wiki page, the category of this page needs to be changed to "Biography of a Deceased Person" status. His page also needs numerous updates to reflect his numerable contributions to the physics community, If possible, the Wikipedia team should collect sources of information that would help turn his page into a more complete biography. Current professors at UT-Austin who knew him might be a good place to start in addition to publication records. A number of high-energy physicists within the field and outside of UT may also be able to provide further information. Physchick (talk) 13:48, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
