Creator:: Matthews, Bethany E.
Abstract:: Learning about periodic and oscillatory systems is a huge step in an undergraduate's comprehensive understanding of physics and complex systems such as solids. However, understanding how specific changes to such a system affect aspects of the entire system can be difficult. The goal of this study is to create a...

Abstract:: Future satellite missions like NASA’s upcoming Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission are targeting reconnection diffusion regions at the Earth’s magnetopause. These diffusion regions are small compared to the total surface area of the magnetopause. Furthermore, the location of the diffusion region depends on external parameters such as the current state of...

Creator:: Smith, Christopher S.
Abstract:: Our research was focused mainly on the field of plasma physics and the creation of plasmas in a laboratory environment. We first began our project with the goal to develop a tabletop Tokamak, a doughnut shaped device that magnetically confines plasmas at pressures greater than one atmosphere. After researching this...

Creator:: Sanders, JC
Abstract:: The large population of 2r>100m near earth objects (NEOs) presents a certain hazard to life on earth. It has been proposed that a nuclear device may be used to alter the course of such objects, thereby averting a catastrophic collision with the earth. The asteroid interdiction problem includes a number...
