Bluffton University Physics Professor to Discuss Research

BLUFFTON, Ohio—Dr. Luke Myers, associate professor of physics at Bluffton University, will present the Colloquium, “New Deuteron Compton Scattering Results from MAX IV.”

It will start at 4 p.m. on Friday, October 14 in Centennial Hall’s Stutzman Lecture Hall on the Bluffton campus.

During the presentation, Myers will discuss a new way of analyzing data taken from deuteron Compton scattering. Myers states that “deuteron Compton scattering is a physical reaction in which high-energy photons are scattered off a deuterium target.

These results, when combined with current models of the nucleus, provide a better understanding of the structure and electromagnetic response of the neutron.”

This event is free and open to the public.
