Manuella Vincter is a professor in the Department of Physics at Carleton University. [1] She is the deputy spokesperson for the ATLAS experiment, [2] and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. [3]
Vincter earned her B.Sc. in 1990 from McGill University,her M.Sc. in 1993 and her PhD in 1996,both at the University of Victoria. Her PhD thesis was on the precision measurement of the ratio of vector to axial-vector coupling of the weak force,which she conducted at the LEP collider at CERN as a member of the OPAL Experiment. She then joined the faculty at the University of Alberta,where she worked on the HERMES experiment at the DESY laboratory and also joined the ATLAS collaboration. She then joined Carleton University as a Canada Research Chair in Experimental Particle Physics,and was appointed Deputy Spokesperson for the ATLAS-Canada team. She was elected to the Royal Society of Canada in 2018,and in 2019 she was appointed Deputy Spokesperson for the ATLAS collaboration.
Vincter's research is in experimental particle physics,with a focus on identifying and reconstructing the path of electrons in the ATLAS experiment. This allows for precise measurement of the electroweak interactions through the decay of W and Z bosons into electrons. She has also done research on the strong force and the structure of nucleons.

Arie Bodek is an American experimental particle physicist and the George E. Pake Professor of Physics at the University of Rochester.
Alan Astbury (1934–2014) was a Canadian physicist,emeritus professor at the University of Victoria,and director of the Tri-Universities Meson Facility (TRIUMF) laboratory.
David George Charlton is Professor of Particle Physics in the School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Birmingham,UK. From 2013 to 2017,he served as Spokesperson of the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Prior to becoming Spokesperson,he was Deputy Spokesperson for four years,and before that Physics Coordinator of ATLAS in the run-up to the start of collision data-taking.
Sir Tejinder Singh Virdee,,is a Kenyan-born British experimental particle physicist and Professor of Physics at Imperial College London. He is best known for originating the concept of the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) with a few other colleagues and has been referred to as one of the 'founding fathers' of the project. CMS is a world-wide collaboration which started in 1991 and now has over 3500 participants from 45 countries.
Sau Lan Wu is a Chinese American particle physicist and the Enrico Fermi Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She made important contributions towards the discovery of the J/psi particle,which provided experimental evidence for the existence of the charm quark,and the gluon,the vector boson of the strong force in the Standard Model of physics. Recently,her team located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN),using data collected at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC),was part of the international effort in the discovery of a boson consistent with the Higgs boson.
Young-Kee Kim is a South Korea-born American physicist and Louis Block Distinguished Service Professor of Physics at the University of Chicago. She is chair of the Department of Physics at the university.
Peter Jenni,is an experimental particle physicist working at CERN. He is best known as one of the "founding fathers" of the ATLAS experiment at the CERN Large Hadron Collider together with a few other colleagues. He acted as spokesperson of the ATLAS Collaboration until 2009. ATLAS is a world-wide collaboration which started in 1992 involving roughly 3,000 physicists at 183 institutions in 38 countries. Jenni was directly involved in the experimental work leading to the discoveries of the W and Z bosons in the 1980s and the Higgs boson in 2012. He is (co-)author of about 1000 publications in scientific journals.
Evans Hayward was an American physicist and a Fellow of the American Physical Society. She was an international leader in photonuclear physics using beams of electrons,positrons and neutrons from high-energy accelerators to probe nuclear structure.
James E. Brau is an American physicist at the University of Oregon (UO) who conducts research on elementary particles and fields. He founded the Oregon experimental high energy physics group in 1988 and served as director of the UO Center for High Energy Physics from 1997 to 2016. Prior to joining the Oregon faculty,he served in the Air Force and held positions at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and the University of Tennessee. He is a fellow of both the American Physical Society and also the American Association for the Advancement of Science. In 2006 he was appointed the Philip H. Knight Professor of Natural Science,an endowed professorship.

George H. Trilling was a Polish-born American particle physicist. He was co-discoverer of the J/ψmeson which evinced the existence of the charm quark. Trilling joined the Physics Department faculty at the University of California,Berkeley,in 1960,where he was Department Chair from 1968 through 1972. Trilling was on sabbatical leave to CERN in 1973–74,where he worked on the study of the properties of charm particles,their decay modes and excited states. He was also Director of the Physics Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from 1984 until 1987. Trilling was a principal proponent of the Superconducting Super Collider project and spokesperson for the Solenoidal Detector Collaboration. After the SSC was cancelled in 1993,Trilling transitioned most of the SDC team to collaborate on the ATLAS experiment at the LHC,which led to the discovery of the Higgs boson in 2012. Trilling was elected Vice-President of the American Physical Society,beginning his term on 1 January 1999,and was President of the society in 2001.
