Oral history interview with Carl Haber, 2021 April 13.
Interview with Carl Haber, Senior Staff Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Haber explains where his research fits within the broader matrix of the Lab, and he describes the challenges with remote work during the pandemic. He recounts his childhood in Queens, NY, and his early fascination with the Space Race. Haber describes his undergraduate work at Columbia, where he became interested in experimental physics and where he worked in Madame Wus group. He explains his decision to stay at Columbia for graduate school, his work targeting neutrinos at Fermilab, and a formative visit to SLAC. Haber discusses his postdoctoral research at the Tevatron collider and some of the technical challenges in building calorimeter devices. He describes the origins of CDF, and the focused interest on CERN for collider detectors, and he shares how he felt when the Higgs was discovered. Haber describes his entrÄ› into the physics of audio recordings, and how he sees this work as part of his research agenda. At the end of the interview, Haber explains why he cant conceive of a better place than Berkeley to pursue a career in physics.
American physicist. Ph.D., physics, Columbia University, 1985. B.A., physics, Columbia University, 1980. Named a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2001.
