Members of the Nuclear Physics Group collaborate with Jefferson Lab on "BoNus" Detector

Members of the ODU Nuclear Physics Group (Dr. G. Dodge, Dr. S. Kuhn, Dr. S. Bültmann, graduate students Jixie Zhang and Slava Tkachenko, and undergraduate student Peter Bradshaw) are  collaborating on a Jefferson Lab experiment named "BoNuS" that recently took data with a novel slow proton detector (a "radial time projection chamber"). This "RTPC" was built, tested and  commissioned with strong ODU involvement. The detector and the experiment are featured in a recent JLab newsletter "On Target".
