Hello. This is my webpage for the High Energy Physics Group at the College of William and Mary I am currently an undergraduate working on my Senior Thesis in the high-energy group on the MINERνA experiment, which is a neutrino scattering experiment using the NuMI beamline at Fermilab. The goal of the MINERνA experiment is to measure low energy neutrino interactions, in order to support neutrino oscillation experiments and also to study the strong dynamics of the nucleon and nucleus that affect these interactions. The high-energy group at William and Mary is working on the construction of the detector modules for the experiment. MINERνA is expected to begin taking data in 2009.

Current Work

The MINERνA project is currently in the full production mode. Here at William and Mary we assemble full planes, fiber Outer Detector (OD) Scintillator, and are beginning simulations and source testing of detector planes.
