  • 1988 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For important contributions to the studies of two body scattering processes, to the identification of new particles, and to studies of heavy quark production and fragmentation of ee collisions

Overview

J.M. Matthews is affiliated with the University of New Mexico in the United States, specializing in Physics and Astronomy with a primary focus on Nuclear and High Energy Physics, as well as Astronomy and Astrophysics. Their research encompasses a variety of subjects including Astrophysics and Cosmic Phenomena, Dark Matter and Cosmic Phenomena, and Gamma-ray bursts and supernovae.

Their work extends into areas such as Particle Detector Development and Performance, Neutrino Physics Research, Particle physics theoretical and experimental studies, and Radio Astronomy Observations and Technology.

Matthews has collaborated extensively, frequently co-authoring with:

  • F. Hueyotl-Zahuantitla
  • A. L. Longinotti
  • E. De la Fuente
  • J. A. García-González
  • M. A. DuVernois

Their publications have appeared predominantly in venues including:

  • arXiv (Cornell University)
  • IEEE Photonics Technology Letters
  • The Astrophysical Journal
  • Proceedings of 37th International Cosmic Ray Conference - PoS(ICRC2021)
  • IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits

Significant papers authored or co-authored by Matthews highlight their contributions to high-energy astrophysics and cosmic ray phenomena. Select recent papers include:

  • "Evidence of 200 TeV Photons from HAWC J1825-134," 2021, The Astrophysical Journal Letters
  • "The High-Altitude Water Cherenkov (HAWC) observatory in México: The primary detector," 2023, Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A Accelerators Spectrometers Detectors and Associated Equipment
  • "Constraining the local burst rate density of primordial black holes with HAWC," 2020, Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics
  • "Search for gamma-ray spectral lines from dark matter annihilation in dwarf galaxies with the High-Altitude Water Cherenkov observatory," 2020, Physical Review D
  • "Cosmic ray spectrum of protons plus helium nuclei between 6 and 158 TeV from HAWC data," 2022, Physical Review D

Matthews' research is associated with advanced experimental physics techniques, particularly involving high-altitude water Cherenkov detectors. This instrumentation plays a central role in their work examining gamma rays, cosmic rays, and potential signals related to dark matter phenomena and primordial black holes.

In recognition of their contributions to physics, Matthews was awarded the Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1988, with a citation noting their important work on two-body scattering processes, particle identification, and studies related to heavy quark production and fragmentation in electron-positron collisions.
