Physics: Schellman Research Group

Postdoc Mateus Carneiro has moved on to a position at Brookhaven National Laboratory but he left us with a really nice paper in Physics Review Letters. M.Carneiro et al. [MINERvA], “High-Statistics Measurement of Neutrino Quasielasticlike Scattering at 6 GeV on a Hydrocarbon Target”, Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, no.12, 121801 (2020), doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.121801 Graduate Student Amit Bashyal did […]

5th year grad student Amit Bashyal’s team won a group presentation prize at the International Neutrino Summer School for their study of magnetization of DUNE experiment far detectors. Students were divided into groups given a short time to do an original study and then present it! Congratulations Amit and team! 3 other Schellman group members […]

Jen Hobbs worked in the Schellman group as an undergraduate and beginning grad student at Northwestern.  She and Howard Budd (Rochester) built the testing system for all 32,000 scintillating fibers for the MINERvA experiment using LabView.  I knew she was good when she got frustrated with the slow device drivers and rewrote them during her […]

Junior Physics major Kaseylin Yoke was awarded a $5,000 SURE Science Summer Fellowship by the College of Science.  The SURE Fellowship supports students to do research over the summer.  She spent the summer learning to analyze data from the MINERvA experimentand finished by spending two weeks in Illinois at Fermilab working with graduate students Amit […]

Former student Cheryl Patrick does it again.  Her SUPERNEMO the Musical won the day at the UCL christmas show and was featured in Symmetry News. Her thesis also won a Springer Thesis Award of 500 EU and is now out as a lovely book.  

The much anticipated paper version of Cheryl Patrick’s thesis has been accepted by Physical Review D.   Check it out at: http://inspirehep.net/record/1646253?ln=en The data release is available at http://physics.oregonstate.edu/~schellmh/data_release/qelike.html Update:  It is published in Phys. Rev. D which is now open access: https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.97.052002

Former graduate student Sahal Yacoob is now a Senior Lecturer at the University of Cape Town. He just received the Claude Leon Merit Award! See the article from UCT at https://www.news.uct.ac.za/article/-2018-02-07-to-the-heart-of-matter  

Cheryl Patrick successfully defended her thesis: Measurement of the Antineutrino Double-Differential Charged-Current Quasi-Elastic Scattering Cross Section at MINERvA in March and is now a postdoc on SuperNEMO at University College London. She came back to the US to give a fantastic Fermilab Wine and Cheese talk in June 2016 which has been written up in […]

We went to the APS Division of Nuclear Physics conference in Vancouver BC in mid-October 2016. Undergraduates Gabe Nowak and Evan Peters gave posters on their work and PI Heidi Schellman gave a 10 minute talk explaining anti-neutrino quasi-elastic scattering. Evan’s poster was placed with theoretical posters presented by students also working on neutrino scattering, […]

Welcome to Mateus Fernandes Carneiro who has joined the Schellman neutrino group as a postdoctoral scholar.  Mateus just completed his dissertation “Measurement of Muon Neutrino Quasi-Elastic Scattering on a Hydrocarbon Target at Enu of 6 GeV” at the Centro Brasileiro de Pesquisas Fisicas using the MINERvA neutrino detector at Fermilab.  He will be working with […]
