The filters should enable us to construct HR diagrams of star clusters and take color pictures. A laptop computer is used to control the camera. It should do a great job for this and will double as a tool for giving presentations here on campus and at academies. The Auger effect occurs when an inner shell electron is photoionized leaving a hole which is subsequently filled by an electron from a higher energy level. The technique was applied to atomic argon and dramatically improved agreement with experiment particularly for photoionization from the 1s and 2s subshells.
Plans are underway to apply the technique to other closed-shell systems in the near future.
Quinn submitted the resulting paper in Tex form to the Physical Review A by e-mail. There were some frustrations resulting from the awkwardness of document processing in this way, however, the page charges should be substantially reduced. Quinn will be opening a new chapter in his life when he graduates this summer. He plans to wed Christine Castillo and then embark on a career with the Navy. He will be a nuclear instructor at the Navy's Nuclear training facility in Orlando, Florida beginning after basic training.
