Biography
Abstract
Jack Sandweiss is Donner Professor of Physics at Yale University (1980-present). His research interests include high-energy and heavy-ion physics, in particluar, the new states of matter involving "high strangeness" which are made possible by the high energy heavy ion reactions which produce large numbers of the so-called strange particles.
