Hall B Scientific Staff Bios


Sergey Boyarinov


Sergey Boyarinov attended the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute in Russia and graduated in 1984 with a master's degree in nuclear physics. He worked as an engineer and scientist at the Institute of Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP) in Moscow, Russia, where he took part in the cumulative particle production program at the 10 GeV accelerator. He received his Ph.D. in nuclear physics in 1992. In the same year he was involved in the SSC Collaboration doing simulations for the GEM Forward Calorimeter. In 1993 he started to work at Jefferson Lab as a visiting scientist in Hall B, participating in offline software and data acquisition system development, construction, and commissioning. In 2000, he joined JLab as a staff scientist. In the course of his work, he was responsible for running the Hall B data acquisition system for all experiments until the CLAS detector shutdown in 2012. He worked closely with the run coordinators to achieve the required performance goals. During those years, he implemented several DAQ system upgrades increasing system performance to meet experiment requirements. During CLAS12 detector construction and commissioning, he led an effort to implement the CLAS12 data acquisition and trigger systems.
