I created a new type of device that will aid in understanding the atomic future
Claire Ardelean
Physics
Research Topic: Scintillation Device
Graduation Year: 2026
Undergraduate Research in the Neighborhoods
Claire’s research project was to design and build a device that would generate an ion beam as well as detect secondary electrons produced by that ion beam. After designing and building the device, Ardelean began to run preliminary experiments. The purpose of these experiments was to find the energy of the electrons produced by the ion beam traveling through a foil and producing secondary electrons. Ardelean found that the energy of the electrons must be about 20 volts. In the future Claire’s findings and her device will be used to study atomic structure.
