It’s my last summer as an undergraduate. It feels very bittersweet. As excited as I am to (hopefully) start graduate school next year,Continue reading “Exploring Copper-65: Using Gamma Spectroscopy To Unveil the Secrets of Atomic Nuclei”

Uncovering the Properties of Rare Nuclei: For What?
The goal of my IDEA Grant project is to discover new and/or confirm experimentally measured physics of nucleus Copper-65 produced by the nuclear reaction between Oxygen-18 and Titanium-50. Many people, including myself about a year ago, might read that sentence and think ok… and? What is the purpose of that? Reading these project titles usedContinue reading “Uncovering the Properties of Rare Nuclei: For What?”
Shifting Gears: Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and Fission Analysis
Hello, Reader! It’s me, Ana P., here to update you on how my IDEA Grant project has been going so far. So, I wasn’t scheduled to start working on the fission analysis project I discussed in my first blog post until mid-June, but my advisor and I have encountered a hurdle that has resulted inContinue reading “Shifting Gears: Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy and Fission Analysis”
