Description
JMU physicist Kevin Giovanetti and students he has mentored were among the contributors to the experiment that led to today’s announcement of a groundbreaking particle physics discovery at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Batavia, Illinois.
Giovanetti and his students contributed in a joint effort with the University of Virginia to design, prototype and build a power management system that was used as part of the experiment's detector system. Twenty-four detector packages were deployed to detect the muons as they decayed.
