  • Lithium-6 or not?

    Lithium-6 captures neutrons, splitting apart into an alpha and a triton. If you put regular scintillating glass on top of glass containing Li-6, it makes a very efficient ultracold neutron detector. The trouble is, once they're bonded together, can you tell which side contains the Li-6? Blair Jamieson and Lori Rebenitsch figured out a way that doesn't require an ultracold neutron source!

  • Best Magnetically Shielded Tube

    We developed a new magnetic sensor based on laser excitation of rubidium. We used it to demonstrate a very large magnetic shielding factor for our newly designed magnetic shields. The results were reported in Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research.
