SNAP
Our research efforts have focused on the
instrumentation and calibration of the SNAP experiment. We are
actively involved in prototyping the SNAP onboard calibration
hardware with known lamp sources and photodiodes. Our other efforts
in calibrating the SNAP experiment include simulations of systematic
errors in the calibration process, filter studies, and the
construction of a set of stable spectrophotometric standards.
HEAp
The HEAp group has searched for
evidence of cold dark matter (WIMPs) with the MACRO detector that
would appear as a high energy neutrino signal pointing back to the
center of the sun or the center of the earth. These neutrinos would
result from WIMP annihilations in the center of the sun or the center
of the earth. The HEAp group is also participating in the MINOS
experiment that is searching for evidence of neutrino mass which could
provide a component of the hot dark matter in the universe.
