Research

  1. Stationary points in the Yukawa-corrected N + 1 Maxwell ring 2025

    Paper

    Analysis of equilibria and zero-velocity geometry of an N + 1 body ring under a Yukawa-modified potential.

  2. Finding the complex permittivity as a function of energy using angular straggling 2026

    Experimental proposal · CERN Beamline for Schools 2026

    Inferring the scattering cross section from angular straggling to measure the complex permittivity of tungsten, and so test the Fermi-virtual-photon model.

  3. Characterisation of and shielding against single event effects in EEPROMs 2025

    Experimental proposal · CERN Beamline for Schools 2025

    Characterising cosmic-ray-induced single event effects in EEPROMs, and how far various shielding materials mitigate them.
