Sophia Medvid ǀ Analyzing Vibrational Modes of a Mellophone

By Sophia Medvid [B.S. Engineering Physics, Honors Tutorial College, Class of 2020] I’m studying the vibrations of the bell of a mellophone to see if it significantly affects the sound of the instrument. In particular, I’m focused on the normal modes of brass plates and the mellophone bell using Chladni […]

Michael Vallee ǀ Developing Analysis Software for Jefferson National Laboratory MOLLER Experiment

Michael Vallee ǀ Developing Analysis Software for Jefferson National Laboratory MOLLER Experiment

Editor’s Note: The MOLLER experiment (Measurement of a Lepton-Lepton Electroweak Reaction) at Jefferson National Laboratory (JLab) proposes to measure the parity-violating asymmetry in electron-electron (Møller) scattering. The experiment will rapidly flip the longitudinal polarization of the electron beam, and measure the fractional difference in scattering rate of the beam electrons […]
