Background:
Shochet is a member of the Collider Detector at Fermilab collaboration. He co-led the Chicago team that helped build two critical components of the upgraded CDF experiment, which began in 2001. He served as scientific co-spokesman for the 439-member CDF collaboration that obtained the first direct experimental evidence for the top quark in 1994. Shochet also is a member of the ATLAS collaboration at CERN, the European particle physics laboratory. The ATLAS experiment will begin when construction is complete on CERN's Large Hadron Collider in 2008. Shochet is currently Chair of the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel, or HEPAP, which advises the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation on the current and future program in elementary particle physics.
