− | My name is Woody Underwood. I'm a junior entering my sixth semester in the physics program at UConn. During the fall 2008 semester, I worked in the lab of Dr. Richard Jones designing electronics for the US department of Energy's GlueX experiment. My assignment was to develop three circuit boards that work together to tag photons coming from the diamond radiator. My circuitry essentially measures (indirectly) the energy of these photons in order to determine if they are of interest to GlueX. The three boards I designed consist of a digital board, an analog board, and a connecting backplane. | + | My name is Woody Underwood.
