Graduate student Abhilash Yallappa Dombara has received an award from the Universities Research Association Visiting Scholars Program. He’ll be relocating to Fermilab soon to focus on the NOvA test beam program, including detector commissioning, operations, and data analysis to better understand systematic uncertainties in NOvA’s long-baseline neutrino oscillation program.
Congratulations, Abhilash!
Interested in doing some undergraduate research in Physics? Prof. Soderberg is looking to hire 1 or 2 undergraduate researchers for up to 10 hours/week in the Fall 2019 semester. Work involves hands-on activity in the lab, as well as potential projects in machine shop and 3D printing. No prior research experience or significant Physics knowledge required! Majors and non-Majors welcome. Contact Prof. Soderberg for further details.
Congratulations to Greg Pulliam, who defended his Ph.D. dissertation yesterday. Greg presented his thesis topic, “pi+ Cross Section on Liquid Argon for the LArIAT Experiment”. It was very impressive to see how he helped build and operate the experiment, and complete a fully-developed analysis, all within his graduate school years. Kudos!
The folks at Yale Wright Laboratory have made a professional version of the SBND APA wiring time-lapse videos. Check it out!
The long journey of the U.S.-made SBND APAs reaches a milestone. Delivery of both APAs to Fermilab (along with the field-cage modules made by our Yale colleagues). Now TPC construction can proceed full-speed ahead. See some photos of the truck arriving, and Pip and company supervising the unloading.
