CENTAUR

In April this year, my group joined the Center of Excellence CENTAUR funded by National Nuclear Security Administration at Texas A&M. Through the center, we will continue our work with the HYPERION array at the Texas A&M cyclotron to investigate the statistical properties of rare-earth nuclei. Such measurements provide constraints for the neutron capture cross …

REU 2018

Emily Churchman from Texas Lutheran University joined our group this summer as an REU student. Emily is working with HECTOR, participated in (p,γ) and (α,γ) measurements earlier this month and now is analyzing 102Pd(p,g)103Ag reaction data to extract the cross section for p-process nucleosynthesis.

Beam time with Hyperion

During the week of November 20, 2017, Nathan, Craig and myself went to Texas A&M to perform an experiment using the Hyperion array. With twelve clover detectors for gamma-rays and a deltaE-E telescope for particle id and energy, we measured (p,d) and (p,t) reactions for rare earth targets. The data will be utilized to extract …

REU 2017

Joe Arroyo from Illinois Institute of Technology joined our group this summer as an REU student. During his second week, he took nightshifts for the experiment with HECTOR and learned how to operate a tandem Van de Graaff accelerator. His summer project was to figure out the efficiency of HECTOR after few modifications to the …
