David Strom is an experimental particle physicist at the University of Oregon. Most of his work at the University of Oregon has been with the OPAL Collaboration. The data recording phase of OPAL ended in 2000, but work continues on physics analysis. More recently Strom has begun a research program on the BaBar experiment and is also working on gravity wave detection with LIGO .
On OPAL his research interests include precise tests of the standard model of electromagnetic and strong interactions by measuring the properties of the Z resonance, measuring rare processes such as Z-pair production in electron-positron collisions, and searching for new particles in electron-positron collision which are potential dark matter candidates.
Here are some links to OPAL related conference reports, talks, and publications:
On BaBar Strom's work, together with Oregon undergraduates, has concentrated on understanding the BaBar muon detection system. A recent talk reviewing the BaBar IFR can be found here. Together with an Oregon graduate student Strom also works on finding rare decays of B mesons.
On LIGO Strom has worked on a few topics related to understanding effects of the physical environment on the LIGO interferometer. Here is a talk presented on tidal effects.
