By William Eshbaugh (B.S. Applied Physics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2020) Editor’s Note: Experiment E12-13-010 at Jefferson  National Laboratory will measure the probability of an electron inducing the radiation of a photon by a proton in kinematic regimes previously unexplored. To do so, a new detector is […]

By Miranda Carver (B.S. Astrophysics, College of Arts & Sciences, Class of 2020) The meson is a particle made from one quark and one antiquark.  The strong force between quarks allows mesons with different masses to exist, each with unique quantum numbers.  The f1(1285) meson has a mass of 1285 […]

Kylie Holmes B.S. Astrophysics & Meteorology, Class of 2016 Kylie Holmes worked with Dr. Julie Roche on a particle physics project at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Newport News, VA. “My main project was to stimulate signals produced by photon pairs resulting from pion decay,” Holmes explained. […]

By Miguel Gomez B.S. Physics and Mathematics, Class of 2015 For two months this summer, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Paul King, Research Assistant Professor of Physics at Ohio University, at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Newport News, VA. Dr. King, a research assistant professor […]

By Robert Radloff B.S. Physics, Class of 2016 I worked with Dr. Julie Roche on a particle physics project at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) in Newport News, VA. The goal of most experiments conducted at this facility, including the one I prepared, is to understand the force […]
