I was quite saddened today to hear the bad news that Uli Baur passed away prematurely yesterday. Uli was a professor of physics at the University at Buffalo, and his research interests focused on electroweak phenomenology. I knew Uli as I worked with him in a workshop at Fermilab, when we tried to determine the Run II potential of the Tevatron in the physics of weak bosons. He was a brilliant theorist, known for his good manners and charm. He was also a CMS collaborator (although I did not know that! We are simply too many in these large collaborations...)
The best way I have to remember Uli here is to make a short list with some of his most cited articles. He has 148 entries in spires, but some of the most significant ones he published in the recent past are the following:
- UB, L.Orr, Searching for t-anti-t resonances at the Large Hadron Collider, PRD 77, 114001, 2008
- UB, L.Orr, High-Pt Top Quarks at the Large Hadron Collider, PRD 76, 09412, 2007
- UB, Weak Boson Emission in Hadron Collider Processes, PRD 77, 013005, 2007
- UB, D.Wackeroth, Electroweak Radiative Corrections to ppbar -> W -> l nu Beyond the Pole Approximation, PRD 70, 073015, 2004
- UB, T.Plehn, D.Rainwater, Probing the Higgs Self Coupling at Hadron Colliders Using Rare Decays, PRD 69, 053004, 2004
