Marjorie Diane Blasius Corcoran (July 21, 1950 – February 3, 2017) was an American particle physicist and professor at Rice University.
[2] To begin her higher education, in 1972 she completed her bachelor's degree at the University of Dayton, graduating summa cum laude.
[4] As a graduate student at Indiana University Bloomington, she began doing high-energy physics research at Fermilab.
[1] Her 1977 doctoral dissertation, Measurement of the polarization parameter in proton-proton elastic scattering for beam momenta ranging from 20 GeV/c to 200 GeV/c, was supervised by Homer Neal.
[10] In 1992, the American Physical Society (APS) named her as a fellow "for contributions to experiments studying spin asymmetries in hadronic collision".
