Phenix and the FVTX
The Multiplicity and Vertex Detector is the innermost detector of the PHENIX experiment, one of 4 experiments at RHIC the new accelerator at Brookhaven National Lab.





 

P-25
P-25 is our group, the Subatomic Physics group at Los Alamos National Laboratory.



 

Aerogel
From 1985 to 1996 we were involved in experiments at CERN. For one of these, NA44, we did some nice R&D on the use of aerogel for imaging Cherenkov detectors. Since then, I've maintained a few pages about aerogel.



 

Outreach
For some years now I have been doing a weekly science hour at Wood-Gormley Elementary in Santa Fe. I answer science questions from the children, ranging from bugs to black holes. Nothing beats a good demo, but since there is no budget for equipment, these are 'cardboard and duct tape' experiments, which means you can do these too.
