In Fall 2011, I am teaching

two sections of the introductory calculus-based general physics course, PH304A, including conservation laws, Newtonian mechanics, and special relativity;
an analytical writing class for first-year students, RCC 200 RU04, titled The Future of Energy.

Registered students will find course materials on the ANGEL site.

My research interests are in the area of experimental "nuclear" physics. The quotation marks reflect the fact that nuclear physics is increasingly an approach to the study of subatomic systems, complementary to high-energy physics: it is not limited to the interactions of protons and neutrons within nuclei. In recent years, I have been involved in several efforts:

Measurement of the rate of muon capture on the proton: the muCap experiment
...which is evolving into a measurement of the rate of muon capture on the deuteron: the muSun experiment
Measurement of backgrounds at the future site of the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory (currently the Sanford Laboratory)
A research program at Los Alamos National Laboratory to develop techniques to detect concealed nuclear weapons material
Measurement of the positive muon lifetime: the muLan experiment
Studies of reactor antineutrinos: the KamLAND experiment
Measurement of the muon anomalous magnetic moment: the muon g-2 experiment
