J. B. Singh

JB Singh is an Indian physicist and professor at Panjab University, Chandigarh. He has earned recognition in Experimental high-energy particle physics. He serves as director of Department of University Centre of Instrumentation and Microelectronics at Panjab University.^[1] He was part of the team of scientists who discovered the top quark, a sub atomic particle in year 1995. Singh has made significant contributions to the field of high-energy particle physics. He is a member of the CMS Collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. One of his most notable achievements is his involvement in the discovery of a new boson with a mass of 125 GeV.^[2] As of September 2024, he is the second most cited researcher in India with an h-index of 244 and more than 257,000 citations. Singh obtained his Ph.D. from Panjab University in 1980. He was awarded by the Bharat Jyoti Award in 2006.^[3]^[4] He was also figured in the world top 2 percent in the Alper Doger (AD) Scientific Index 2023 and topped the list from scientists of India.^[5]
