JB Undergraduate Research Progress, Fall 2013

This page gives an overview of the work I have done under the supervision of Dr. Richard Jones during the Fall 2013 semester.

Finalizing summer work

I worked in the lab as a student worker during the summer of 2013. I spent my time working on a proposal for a chilled water line for the servers in P403. I finalized this document in the beginning of the Fall 2013 semester. It can be found here.

When I first gained access to the active collimator, I took it apart in order to understand its structure. Below are pictures that I took upon its disassembly.

I read Igor Senderovich's PhD thesis very carefully in order to understand the active collimator's purpose and how it works. This project is largely based on Senderovich's work when he was working under Dr. Jones.
