Fun #physics factoid I recently learned:
When optichromic rods are exposed to radiation (gamma), they turn purple!
On the left, a vial with 2 low-dose + 2 high-dose rods. Top right, unexposed. Bottom right, exposed.
Used in our #accelerator #science grant studying permanent magnet degradation.
A bit of fun #accelerator #science #history about Jefferson Lab and our colleague, Nick!
Two tech notes written on completely different #accelerator #science topics in one week.
Sometimes, #physics is really fun!
Very happy to announce that, as of March 1st, I have been promoted to Staff #Accelerator #Scientist III in the Center for Advanced Studies of Accelerators (CASA) Group at Jefferson Lab.
After ~21 years of accelerator #physics experience, this feels good.
Scientists have developed a groundbreaking method for generating fast, bright #proton beams using a high-repetition-rate laser-plasma #accelerator.
