The UNH Nuclear Physics Group offers opportunities to above-average undergraduate students to get involved in research. Both work study and a limited number of non-work study positions are available. Students gain experience and develop skills by assisting in various roles in our research projects. In particular students can assemble, modify and test electrical circuits. Students learn to program computers to take measurements and analyze data.
Students assemble and optimize sensitive pickup coils that measure small magnetic fields.
Students also perform systematic studies on components of our gas polarizing systems and our nuclear particle detectors, in efforts to find improvements. Students who are performing well in coursework and seek an additional challenge and opportunity should contact Bill Hersman or Mark Leuschner. Summer support is also available, especially for students who have participated during the academic year.
