High-energy particle physics

with Professor Michael Rijssenbeek

Prof. Rijssenbeek is currently working with two undergraduate physics students, James Hoffman and Nick Horvath, but would welcome additional students.  James has been involved in the development of high voltage feedthroughs for the ATLAS calorimeter at CERN for the last year. Nick, a freshman, is continuing a project begun as a high school student whose goal is to detect highly-energetic cosmic ray muons by their effect on broadcast radio signals.
