Notes

Jason Stalnaker Awarded Grant and Has Coauthored Paper Published

Donald R. Longman 鈥32 Professor of Physics Jason Stalnaker was awarded a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation for Exotic Physics Searches with Magnetometer Networks. The grant is a collaboration with Cal State-East Bay University, Bucknell University, and Messiah University. Jason and three recent 91直播 graduates coauthored a paper on a 鈥淢ultimessenger Search for Exotic Field Emission with a Global Magnetometer Network鈥 in Physical Review X.

Jason Stalnaker Coauthored Paper Published in "Physical Review D"

Professor of Physics Jason Stalnaker and 91直播 students Eduardo Castro Mu帽oz 鈥23 and Ehsan Nikfar 鈥25 have coauthored a paper in on a search for magnetic signatures of hidden-photon and axion dark matter in the wilderness. The article is being highlighted by the journal as an Editors鈥 Suggestion.

Jason Stalnaker Coauthors Publication

Associate Professor of Physics Jason Stalnaker coauthored a publication that appeared in the journal Physics of the Dark Universe. The paper describes an analysis method for detecting dark matter using a network of optical magnetometers. 91直播 student P. Claire Segura 鈥20 is also a coauthor on the paper.

Winter Term in 91直播: 2020

Winter Term is a time of year when 91直播 students are encouraged to conduct independent or group projects outside of courses related to their majors. Pursuits can be done on or off campus with students choosing to work almost anywhere on the map. This year we highlight some of the work by the more than 900 students who completed projects in 91直播.
