Professor Wolfgang Lorenzon works in unpolarized and polarized hadronic physics and is a member of the SeaQuest and SpinQuest collaborations at Fermilab. He served as Deputy Spokesman for HERMES from 1997 to 1998. His research involves the SeaQuest experiment, which involves building cryogenic targets to study antiquark distribution in the nucleon sea to gain a better understanding of the model that describes nucleons. He has been instrumental in establishing the polarized Drell-Yan program at Fermilab to study the spin structure of the proton in the E-1039 experiment. He is also focused on Dark Matter direct detection, participating in the PandaX experiment in China and the LZ Dark Matter experiment at the SURF laboratory in South Dakota, which began data collection in late 2021 with expectations to run until 2028. Additionally, Professor Lorenzon is a core member of the MUSE experiment at the PSI laboratory in Switzerland, aimed at resolving discrepancies in proton charge radius measurements. He is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and has published numerous influential papers in the field.
