Research
Interests:
The cosmic ray physics group is working
on balloon-borne and space-based experiments capable of
making direct measurements of very high-energy particles
from outer space. The scientific
objective is to understand the origin, acceleration and
propagation of cosmic rays, to explore their
acceleration limit in supernovae, and to search for
exotic sources such as dark matter and antimatter.
Prospective students can be involved in one or more of
our currently ongoing experiments.

Course
and other Prerequisites:
·The successful candidate(s) would be willing
to work 20 hours/week for at least one full semester and
would have some experience with one or more of the
following: work with adhesives and plastics (e.g., model
aircraft); electronics (e.g., oscilloscopes,
multi-meters); other lab or shop experience;
computerized data analysis and presentation. |
