The Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar this week features talks from Physics Major Aaron Kindred and Computer Science Major Richard Mitchell. Aaron is simulating a novel neutron detector called NEXT: Neutron dEtector with Xn Tracking. Richard’s talk, Integral method for fitting nuclear decay chains, will present a new technique for determining radioactive half-lives from complex, low-statistics data sets. The seminar will be this Friday, February 26th at 4pm. It is geared for undergraduates from any STEM major, but graduate students and faculty are also encouraged to attend!
