Don Lincoln is an American particle physics researcher at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and adjunct Professor of Physics at the University of Notre Dame^[1]. He received a Ph.D. in experimental particle physics from Rice University in 1994. In 1995, he was a codiscoverer of the top quark.^[2] He has coauthored hundreds of research papers and, more recently, contributed to ruling out possible values of the Higgs boson's mass.^[3]

Lincoln is a public speaker and science writer and has contributed many science articles in magazines that include Analog Science Fiction and Fact in July 2009. He is also author of two books describing particle physics written for the public. These are "Understanding the Universe: From Quarks to the Cosmos"^[4] (2004) and "The Quantum Frontier: The Large Hadron Collider" ^[5] (2009).

In recent years, he has been heavily involved in research using the DZero detector at the Fermilab Tevatron and also at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) on the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. His popularizations also include columns that translate CMS^[6] (monthly) and DZero^[7] (biweekly) physics measurements for the public.
