Mark Moog ’11: Research Update

markmartinmoog.jpgMark Moog spent his summer studying particle physics with professor Jerry Gilfoyle.  The two began their work together after Mark’s freshman year at UR.  Mark used the University of Richmond supercomputer cluster to run simulations of a possible future experiment at the CEBAF accelerator at Jefferson National Laboratory in Newport, VA.  The simulations address whether the experiment would be able to accurately measure the form factor of the neutron at high energies.  In addition to his work at Richmond, Mark also traveled to Jefferson lab to help monitor the accelerator during ongoing experiments there.   This fall, Mark travels with professor Gilfoyle to a national physics conference in Oakland, California to present the results of their work.
