Scientific articles published

by UPR-Mayagüez Department of Physics faculty since year 2000

            The following is a listing of published articles authored or co-authored by UPRM Department of Physics faculty members since year 2000 and up to February 2005 only. Our faculty members, students, and visiting scientists are highlighted in blue in the references. A few articles indicated by the symbol † were published by the highlighted author before he joined our faculty and are included for information purposes. The overwhelming majority of articles listed were published in peer-reviewed journals or peer-reviewed conference proceedings. A smaller number were published in professional national or international conference proceedings which are not peer-reviewed, but are generally considered important. Books or book chapters and articles accepted but not yet published are included in separate lists at the end. The list presented is not exhaustive, but an effort was made to include all peer-reviewed papers. References to oral or poster technical presentations are not included in this list, which is only for published articles.

            Articles by the FOCUS and CLEO groups are authored by a multinational collaboration including the members of the High Energy Physics group at UPRM. Information about the FOCUS and CLEO collaborations can be found respectively at http://www-focus.fnal.gov/ and http://www.lns.cornell.edu/public/CLEO/ .

            There is some variation in the format used for the references, since these were provided by many different faculty members. The listing is separated by year, and within each year by title, in alphabetical order.
