M.Sc., Hebrew University, Jerusalem, 1947; Ph.D., University of Wisconsin, 1950; Instructor, Columbia University, New York, 1950-1953; University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Radiation Laboratory, 1953; Associate Research Professor at the Miller Institute for Basic Research, 1957-1958; Ford Foundation Fellow at CERN, Geneva, 1960-1961; became co-leader of the Trilling-Goldhaber Physics Group at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL), 1962. Goldhaber's research has involved nuclear emulsion and particle detection using bubble chambers. A major interest has been study of meson and antiproton interactions and the investigation of elementary particles and forces. Among Goldhaber's major contribution was his crucial role in the discovery of the J/psi particle, the first charmed quark identified, in the joint LBL-Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) collaboration at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Early work concerned K+-nucleon interactions and the elucidation of the antiproton annihilation process, and study of the GGLP effect (which provided the basis for Bevalac interferometry). His work in the 1980s and 1990s has concentrated on the research and develop- ment of the Mark II particle detector at SPEAR (Stanford Positron Electron Accelerating Ring).
