 Development of fluorescent nuclear track detector technology for mixed radiation field dosimetry

Jeff Sykora

Landauer Inc.

Oklahoma State University, Department of Physics

Experiences in a Ph.D. program in physics are one of a kind, focused on but not limited to science. I will talk about my recent adventures transitioning from an undergraduate at Creighton to finishing Ph.D. work at Oklahoma State University. I will also discuss my research summarized below.

Field Day 2012

This spring, the Creighton University Society of Physics Students (CUSPS) will again sponsor Physics Field Day, a day of activities and excitement for high school students. The theme of the 2012 Physics Field Day is "The Universe," in light of the 2011 Nobel-Prize winning discovery regarding the accelerating expansion of the universe.

The rulebook can be found here.

The day is filled with competitions that require understanding and application of basic physical principles. We in the CUSPS believe that physics can be enjoyed in a hands-on, competitive spirit. There is an event for everyone!

It is our hope that the diversity of the Physics Field Day events will encourage many students to participate and challenge themselves.

Information on how to register for this event is found in the rulebook.

Physics Antique Roadshow

 Tom Greenslade, Ph.D., one of the foremost experts on antique physics apparatus will present "The Creighton Physics Antique Road Show," during Creighton University's Department of Physics colloquium. Some of Creighton's antique apparatus, which includes items from the 1898 Trans-Mississippi Exposition that was held in Omaha, will be on display in a nearby room.


The author of more than 200 articles, Greenslade writes on the history of physics, as well as giving lectures, demonstrations and laboratory experiments developed at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where he served on the physics faculty from 1964 to 2002.

Greenslade serves as the chair of the committee on the History and Philosophy of Physics of the American Association of Physics Teachers, which awarded him a Distinguished Service Citation in 1987 and in 2002 listed him as one of the 75 most influential physics teachers and physicists in the United States.
