Ohio University physics graduate student Joey Rowley was selected from a poster competition to give a talk at the 2019 National Nuclear Physics Summer School (NNPSS), held this year in Knoxville, TN. The NNPSS is a two-week series of lectures for graduate students from across the country in the field […]

It’s not every week you are given an opportunity to share the latest in nuclear physics research, take time to observe wild pandas in a nature preserve, and admire famous musical instruments from the 5th Century BC. Recently, nuclear physicist Charlotte Elster traveled to south-central China where she presented her research […]

One of the central challenges of nuclear physics is to understand the structure of the atom’s nucleus and nuclear forces. Nuclear physicists for decades have sought ways to accurately compute the scattering of a proton or neutron from the nuclei, but lacked access to a sophisticated description of the nuclear […]

  Ohio University Physics & Astronomy professors Drs. Carl Brune, Alexander Voinov, and Thomas Massey of the Institute of Nuclear and Particle Physics recently hosted a group of nuclear physicists from the University of Notre Dame for a week at the John C. Edwards Accelerator Laboratory. Notre Dame doctoral candidate […]

Ohio University physics doctoral student Andrea Richard published an article about understanding the structure of neutron-rich magnesium isotopes in the American Physical Society’s Physical Review C, a peer-reviewed journal covering leading research in nuclear physics. Her paper, “Strongly coupled rotational band in 33Mg,” describes her research on the ground-state rotational band […]

By Jamison Lahman, PACE writer and Jean Andrews Physics & Astronomy  Ohio University’s 2016-17 Visiting Glidden Professor Dr. Andreas Nogga seeks to understand more about the forces holding atomic nuclei together.  As one of the leading few-body theoretical physicists, he studies the strong nuclear force, one of the four fundamental […]

Physics & Astronomy alum Cody Parker spent five days recently conducting experiments at Ohio University’s Edwards Accelerator Lab. Parker is a post-doctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) Plasma Science and Fusion Center in Cambridge. Parker graduated in 2016 with a Ph.D. in Physics from the College of […]
