Changes

I am soon to be a 7th semester Physics major, and I have been working with Dr. Jones and his lab group since more-or-less the beginning of summer 2008. My current work on the GlueX project relates to the mechanical engineering design and testing of the photon-tagging detector (microscope) which will be used in the Hall D experiment at the Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (J-Lab).

==Project Overview==

==Project Abstract==

The project that I am working on with Dr. Jones and his UConn lab group is the mechanical design of the tagger microscope box. The tagger microscope is a critical part of the GlueX particle accelerator experiment being constructed and run at Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility in Virginia. The GlueX project is overseen (and largely-funded) by the United States Department of Energy, but is executed by an international collaboration of physicists which includes students and faculty members from universities in the US, Canada, Chile, the United Kingdom, Greece, Armenia, and China.
