Jasbir Singh, better known as J.B. Singh, is an Indian physicist and professor. He is a distinguished professor at University of Petroleum and Energy Studies(UPES), Dehradun.[1] He has earned recognition in Experimental high-energy particle physics. He was part of the team at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (FNAL) that discovered the Top quark in 1995.[2] He participated for discovery of CP violation in B-meson system with Belle Experiment using High Energy accelerator at KEK, Japan. He also contributed to the discovery of a new boson with a mass of 125 GeV, which is associated with the Higgs boson in 2012.[3] He is director of Department of University Centre of Instrumentation and Microelectronics at Panjab University.[4]

Career

[edit]

He was part of the team of scientists who discovered the top quark, a sub atomic particle in year 1995. Singh has made significant contributions to the field of high-energy particle physics. He is a member of the CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. One of his most notable achievements is his involvement in the discovery of a new boson with a mass of 125 GeV.[5] As of September 2024, he is the second most cited researcher in India with an h-index of 244 and more than 257,000 citations. Singh obtained his Ph.D. from Panjab University in 1980. He was awarded by the Bharat Jyoti Award in 2006.[6][7] He was also figured in the world top 2 percent in the Alper Doger (AD) Scientific Index 2023 and topped the list from scientists of India.[8]

To date, Singh, who was ranked 124 on the list, continues to study the behaviour of high-energy subatomic particles. Some of his latest works include studying high-energy collisions and the decay of subatomic particles in particle accelerators.
