View source for An Active Collimator for GlueX

'''Chris Gauthier''' is a UConn undergraduate physics major (class of 2003).  In Fall 2001 Chris assumed responsibility for the design and prototype development of a gamma ray beam collimator for the GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab.  Spring 2002 he was awarded a Summer Research Scholarship by the UConn honors program to support his work on this project during summer 2002.  The project involved a design of the instrument, physics simulation of the design, construction of a prototype and test setup, together with publication of the results of tests to be performed in a test beam at Jefferson Lab.  Later that year
Chris made [http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/mtg-9-12-02/CollimatorPresentation.ppt a presentation] of his work to the GlueX collaboration in Glasgow, U.K.  His work on background simulations was published as GlueX technical note [http://zeus.phys.uconn.edu/halld/note-60.ps.gz GlueX-doc-60].
