1 Masahiro Morii Harvard University, Department of Physics masahiro 17 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA (617) Professional Positions Chair of the Department of Physics Harvard University 2014 present Professor of Physics Harvard University 2007 present John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Natural Sciences Harvard University Assistant Professor of Physics Harvard University Research Associate SLAC Research Associate University of Tokyo Education Ph.D. in physics University of Tokyo 1994 M.S. in physics Kyoto University 1988 B.S. in physics Kyoto University 1986 Fellowship Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellowship Research ATLAS Experiment 2006 present ATLAS studies proton-proton collisions using the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. Its primary goals are the origin of the electroweak symmetry breaking and New Physics beyond the Standard Model. The experiment has taken data since December 2009 at the center-of-mass energy of 7 and 8 TeV. The energy will be increased to 13 TeV in Since joining ATLAS in 2006, I have worked on mapping the magnetic field created by the air-core superconducting toroids of the muon spectrometer. We use data from 1,700 Hall probes located inside the field to reconstruct the geometry of the magnets cold mass. Together with my graduate students and postdocs, I have worked on several measurements using the 7 and 8 TeV pp collision data. My group published measurements of W -boson transverse momentum distribution [1], W Z diboson production [2], searches for weakly-produced SUSY particles [3], and a search for Dark Matter production in recoil of photons [4]. In preparation for the 13 TeV run, my group is involved in searches for strongly produced SUSY particles and for Dark Matter production in recoil of jets. LUX Experiment LUX aims to detect cosmic Dark Matter using 350 kg of liquid xenon as the active target. The detector is located 4,850 feet below ground in Sanford Underground Laboratory at Homestake, SD. The first results of the LUX Experiment was published in 2014 [5]. My main contribution to LUX included design and production of the postamplifier system.

2 2 Masahiro Morii BABAR Experiment 1996 present BABAR operated at the PEP-II e + e 0 storage ring at SLAC from 1999 to 2008 to study the b-quark physics, in particular the CP violation in the neutral B meson decays. I joined the experiment in 1996 as a SLAC postdoc. My main responsibilities were in the construction and operation of the BABAR central drift chamber. I worked on the development and production of the readout electronics for the drift chamber, and later led the the installation and commissioning of the drift chamber. In 2000, I moved to Harvard University and became the PI of the Harvard BABAR group. I co-designed a new fast 3d tracking trigger system that allowed BABAR to take data at substantially higher beam intensities than previously possible. I lead the Harvard BABAR group for the R&D of the new trigger electronics. The upgraded trigger system was successfully deployed in As a co-convener of the Semileptonic Analysis Working Group, I coordinated the studies of the B meson semileptonic decays. My personal interest focused on the determination of the amplitude of the CKM matrix element V ub using b ul ν decays. I published a measurement of the branching fraction of the exclusive B πlν decay in 2006 [6], and wrote a review article on the semileptonic B decays and determination of V ub [7]. In addition, the members of my group published four journal articles in [8]. OPAL Experiment OPAL was a general-purpose experiment running at the LEP e + e storage ring at CERN. I joined the experiment in 1992 as a research associate with the University of Tokyo. I was the convener of the OPAL b Electroweak Working Group from 1995 to My primary achievement at OPAL was the measurement of R b Γ(Z b b)/γ(z hadrons) [9]. I was also in charge of the online software of the electromagnetic calorimeter system. KEK Experiment E KEK E-162 was a fixed-target experiment which used the KEK 12-GeV proton synchrotron to search for the CP-violating rare decay K L π 0 e + e. I worked for the experiment during its construction as a graduate student of Kyoto University. I designed a 39 m 2, 8000 sense-wire drift chamber system that used a fast gas to achieve a dead time of less than 50 ns. I lead the production of the chambers until the first unit was completed.

3 Masahiro Morii 3 Teaching I am committed to providing the best physics education to the next generation. My lectures have been consistently praised by the students, and colleagues in the Department have based their lectures on the material I have developed. I have taught the following undergraduate courses at Harvard. course Physical Sciences 3 Physics 11b Physics 15b Physics 15c Physics 95 Physics 145 Physics 151 Physics 191r title Electromagnetism and Waves Electromagnetism Electromagnetism Wave Phenomena Topics in Current Research Elementary Particle Physics Mechanics Advanced Laboratory I developed Physical Sciences 3 with two other faculty members in spring It is a secondsemester physics course for students majoring in biological sciences, and the lectures and laboratory assignments are linked to medical and biological examples.

In addition, I worked with several undergraduate students on BABAR and ATLAS, many of whom went on to graduate schools including Harvard, UC Berkeley, and Stanford.
