Three physics majors presented posters at the fall meeting of the Division of Nuclear Physics of the American Physical Society (DNPAPS) in Newport News, Va., recently.
Richie Bonventre ’08 presented his work on the “Extraction of Yields for Neutral Meson Photoproduction from the Proton and Helium-3 with the CLAS Detector at Jefferson Lab.”
“Fiducial Volumes for Photons Detected in the Forward Calorimeters of the CLAS Detector at JLab” was the title of the poster presented by Christian Shultz ’08.
Crystal Smith ’08 reported on her work on the “Analysis of Proton-Rich Elemental Abundances Created in Outflows from Gamma-Ray Burst Accretion Disks.”
Bonventre and Shultz work with Prof. Michael Vineyard, while Smith works with Prof. Rebecca Surman. The three students received competitive lodging and travel grants from the Conference Experience for Undergraduates program of the DNPAPS. The meeting showcased 97 undergraduate posters.
