Physics: Schellman Research Group

Amit Bashyal’s thesis work on anti-neutrino quasi-elastic scattering has been published as Bashyal et. al., “High-statistics measurement of antineutrino quasielastic-like scattering at Eν ~ 6 GeV on a hydrocarbon target”, Phys. Rev. D 108, 032018 , in the August 1 issue of Physical Review D. This paper uses the full MINERvA medium-energy data sample with 635,592 candidate interactions and […]

https://www.ph.ed.ac.uk/news/2022/super-spokesperson-for-supernemo-22-12-16 Our friends at the University of Edinburgh tell us that STFC Rutherford Fellow Cheryl Patrick – who got her doctorate in the Schellman group in 2016 – has now been elected co-spokesperson for the Super-NEMO experiment. 3 present or former spokespeople (Schellman – E665, Patrick – SuperNEMO, Fields – MINERvA). This is Cheryl graduating […]

Oregon State Physics is part of a new $3.2 million consortium funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science to train the next generation of computational high-energy physicists. The new Western Advanced Training for Computational High-Energy Physics (WATCHEP)[https://watchep.org] brings together six public universities and three national laboratories to create a tailored modular curriculum and […]

Jacob Capps successfully defended his dissertation on June 1. His dissertation “Application and Validation of Geant4 Modeling for Optimization of Complex Structures for Fast Neutron Detection” describes and validates a sophisticated simulation of a variety of neutron detection systems. Jake came to OSU from West Point having completed an MS at the Naval Postgraduate School […]

Sept. 29, 2021 Oregon State Physics is leading a Department of Energy Office of Science funded project to design computing and software infrastructure for the DUNE experiment.   DUNE is a future neutrino experiment that will aim a neutrino beam from Fermilab, in Batavia Illinois, at a very large detector in the Homestake mine in Lead, […]

Amit Bashyal has defended his thesis. You can read all 550 pages here: http://old.inspirehep.net/record/1859505 His thesis combines his work on neutrino fluxes for the DUNE and MINERvA experiments, which has been submitted to JINST and a new high statistics measurement of anti-neutrino quasi-elastic scattering which we’re writing up. He is moving to Argonne National Laboratory […]

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 […]

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
