The BaBar Collaboration comprises about 600 physicists from institutions in 10 countries, and his position as its spokesman has made him internationally known. He is also an editor of the Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science.

During his spokesmanship of the BaBar Collaboration, the accelerator detected and measured the lowest energy state of the bottomonium quark family (ηb). Jawahery stated: "These results were highly sought after for over 30 years and will have an important impact on our understanding of the strong interactions."[2]

gollark: I mean, it obviously works, at least approximately.
gollark: n.
gollark: I love dividing by infinite polynomials.
gollark: That sounds INCREDIBLY efficient too.
gollark: I think 31 being 2^5 - 1 is slightly relevant maybe possibly.
