This week’s Undergraduate STEM Research Seminar will be given by TTU physics majors Gabriel Adams and Michael Potts. Both Gabriel’s talk, Analyzing Decay Patterns of Xenon-134, and Michael’s talk, Simulating Self Absorption Due to Neutron Inelastic Scattering in Xenon 134, will present different aspects of studies to understand background processes that can complicate the search for an extremely rare nuclear process called neutrinoless double beta decay. The seminar will be this Friday at 4pm in Bruner Hall 210 with snacks served starting at 3:30pm. These seminars are geared for undergraduates from any STEM major, but graduate students and faculty are also encouraged to attend. (And if you do any sort of undergraduate research at TTU and would like to talk about your work as part of this seminar series, please send an email to Dr. Holley, aholley@tntech.edu!)
