| Description: | PIXE-PAN 2007 is a relatively new program at Notre Dame replicating the very successful Physics of the Atomic Nuclei (PAN) program from MSU. It is a summer science program for high school science, physical science, chemistry, and physics teachers and high school students. Participants will explore topics in modern science and nuclear physics. The program introduces teachers and students to the fundamentals of the extremely small domain of atomic nuclei and its connection to the extremely large domain of astrophysics and cosmology. Lectures and hands-on experiments are led by senior faculty and staff of the Institute for Structure and Nuclear Astrophysics (ISNAP). What you learn: Lectures, discussions, demonstrations and hands-on experiments are the signature of this program. While MSU's PAN program has a cosmic ray scientific focus, PIXE-PAN will have a PIXE focus. PIXE - Proton Induced X-Ray Emissions -- is an accelerator based technique used to analyze art and artifacts. Participants will participate in PIXE experiments. |
