Marianna Gabrielyan is a postdoctoral researcher in the NOVA collaboration. Though she came on board the experiment to do data analysis, she has found herself responsible for quite a bit of the hardware on the NOVA project. Gabrielyan recently setup a control room in the Physics and Nanotechnology Building. This control room will eventually allow researchers at the U in the Twin Cities to take shifts monitoring both Near and Far detectors, a function that is presently done at Fermilab, outside of Chicago. |
NewsWick wins Reichert AwardSenior Scientist, Kurt Wick will receive the American Physical Society 2017 Jonathan F. Reichert and Barbara Wolff-Reichert Award for Excellence in Advanced Laboratory Instruction.

More » Olive to receive Bethe PrizeProfessor Keith Olive was named as the recipient of the 2018 Hans A. Bethe Prize from the American Physical Society (APS). Olive received the prize for his research across a number of disciplines including nuclear physics, particle physics, theoretical and observational astrophysics, and cosmology, and Big Ban nucleosynthesis and the properties of Dark Matter. More » LIGO detects gravitational waves from Neutron Star collision
For the first time, physicists have detected gravitational waves from the collision of two neutron stars. The observation was made by LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, a collaborative project with over one thousand researchers from more than twenty countries, including the University of Minnesota.
