Please join us for a talk with Dr. Sharon Stephenson, Gettysburg College, entitled:
Making beautiful physics with the help of MoNA-LISA
The MoNA (Modular Neutron Array) Collaboration successfully does new science in nuclear structure physics and relies on undergraduate student involvement. The research of MoNA addresses some of the major science questions in nuclear physics today: What is the limit of nuclear stability and what are the fundamental properties of extremely neutron-rich matter? Using high-energy projectile fragmentation reactions we produce and measure the decay of neutron-unbound nuclei with lifetimes of 10‒21s. Among the major accomplishments are the discoveries of 6 new isotopes (15Be, 16Be, 18B, 25O, 26O, and 28F). I will give an overview of our research program and emphasize the special role undergraduates have in our research agenda.
On Tuesday, April 28th at 12:10 in CNS 206B
Pizza and Refreshments will be available for $1.
