Summer 2010 Projects

During the summer of 2010 the CASE NSL team worked on several projects:

  • Design and construction of an Ion Source Test Stand (Simon Freedman, REU from IIT)
  • Mechanical design of a sample changing inverted sputtering negative ion source (Victoria Yu, REU from Rutgers)
  • Ion optical design of a sample changing inverted sputtering negative ion source (Danny Pinghero, REU from Clarkson)
  • Implementation of and lab manuals for 2 Phy 445/515 experiments (Taposhi Biswas, SBU MAT)
  • LabView based control system for the NSL accelerator complex (Greg Wille, SBU MSI)
  • Design and implementation of the database for the CASE AMS facility (Will Lunden, SBU student)
  • Stochastic variation in customer payment assignment for mid-day coffee (Rich Lefferts, Andrzej Lipski, CASE staff)

Truth be told, everybody worked a bit on everything. Except that only Rich and Andrzej gambled over coffee.

You can learn more about what we accomplished at:

  • The Stony Brook Dept. of Physics and Astronomy Research Experience for Undergraduate (REU) site has abstracts of our students' final presentations.
  • We ran a one week Workshop2010 for high school teachers and students
