Dr. Mark Spraker and Dr. Richard Prior, Professors of Physics received a three-year renewal grant from the U.S. Department of Energy.

The grant, totaling $333,000 over three years, supports nuclear physics research in collaboration with the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory (TUNL) and the High Intensity Gamma-ray Source project, both located at Duke University.

 

Dr. Richard M. Prior, professor and head of Physics, gave a talk on October 17 at the joint meeting of the Nuclear Physics Divisions of the American Physical Society and the Physical Society of Japan in Waikoloa, Hawaii.  The talk, “The ¹⁰B(p,a)aa Reaction at Low Energies,” was based on research done at the Triangle Universities Nuclear Laboratory at Duke University.  At the same meeting Stephanie Amos, a senior physics and math major at North Georgia, presented a poster on her research in a Research Experiences for Undergraduates program last summer at Michigan State University.  Her poster was entitled, “Discovery of Cadmium, Indium and Tin Isotopes.”
