Middle row: Prof. Michael Korth, Prof. Gordon McIntosh. Back row: Prof. Sylke Boyd, Prof. Len Keeler, Prof. Kristin Kearns. Physics Senior Theses The Physics seniors presented their seminars as part of the Senior Thesis course near the end of spring semester. Topics were: Photo-Induced Magnetism in Thin Film Compounds by Arthur Aaberg Understanding Decoherence in the Double Slit Photoionization of H2 by Blair Elliot; A Theoretical Model of a Brownian Motor by Matthew Johantgen; Detection of Gravitational Waves Using Laser Interferometry by Alex Dalton. Physics Class Balloon Launch After a couple of months of planning and instrument building, Prof. McIntosh's experimental physics class sent a helium-filled balloon 90,000 feet up in the earth's atmosphere. More information about the launch and some photos can be seen on this web page. Visit to Army High-Performance Computing Research Center and the Twin Cities Campus On March 23, 2006, a group of 11 students and 2 faculty took a trip to the Twin Cities in order to visit several landmarks in computer modeling. More. Public Observing The general public is invited to come and see the astronomical sights through UMM's 16" telescope. Dates and times. Physics Weather Station at UMM Prof. Sylke Boyd manages a weather station on top of the science building that automatically downloads data to a web page. Prof. Boyd has taught a first-year seminar course on weather and has developed a new course on the physics of weather. Visit to Physics Research Labs at the U of M Twin Cities Campus On November 3, 2006, a group of students and faculty traveled to the Twin Cities in order to visit several research labs in the physics department.
