The Postdoc Experience
Alex and Erin discuss their postdoc experience in Duke Physics News.
Grad students attend APS meeting in Baltimore
Grad students Gleb Sinev and Justin Raybern attended the APS April meeting in Baltimore. Gleb gave a talk on “Features in the energy and time distributions of neutrinos from a supernova burst and their detection with a multi-kiloton liquid argon detector” and Justin presented gave the status of COHERENT, with a talk on “COHERENT at the Spallation Neutron Source“.
Super-K papers by Duke postdocs highlighted in Phys. Rev. D

Duke neutrinos stream through Boston
The Neutrino 2014 conference in Boston was attended by several Duke neutrinos. Chris Walter gave the T2K update talk and Kate Scholberg gave a review talk on supernova neutrinos. Phil Barbeau gave the talk coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering. Alex Himmel gave a poster on exotic oscillation analyses with Super-K, and recent Ph. D. Taritree Wongjirad gave a poster on T2K numu oscillation analysis. In addition, former Duke neutrino Roger Wendell gave the Super-K atmospheric neutrino result presentation.
