Gail G. Hanson, born 22 February 1947 in Dayton, Ohio^[1] is an American experimental particle physicist.

Career

Hanson received her PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1973.^[2] She spent sixteen years at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, first as a research assistant and then as a permanent staff member. Whilst there, Hanson participated in the discovery of the J/psi meson and tau lepton. Her work led to the first evidence for quark jet production in electron-positron annihilation,^[3] for which she was awarded the 1996 Panofsky Prize with Roy Schwitters.^[4]

In 2002 she was appointed Distinguished Professor of Physics at the University of California, Riverside.
