There are numerous approaches to incorporating computational science advances in education. Many physics departments now teach a course in CP, usually in the upper division. Some also teach a lower division scientific computing class. And, of course, computers are often used to help teach physics classes, but value is usually placed on the physics and not the computation. Although there is as yet ...Show More
Simulation of physics plays an important role in many fields such as engineering, science, and education. There are many simulation tools for various types of applications, including those for physics. In this paper, we describe a physics simulation engine we developed based on the concepts and models in SodaConstructor, a construction tool kit for learning physics. The models demonstrate several ...Show More

Analytical skills provide the theoretical framework for much of physics; however, in the real-world analytical solutions to problems frequently remain elusive. More often than not, solutions arise from creative combinations of analytic, experimental and computational techniques. While the physics community recognizes the need for curricular innovation, physics curriculums still traditionally focus...Show More

While some physics educators have included computing in courses or have developed specialized courses for over 50 years, computational physics education has only slowly made inroads into the broader physics education community. Even now, when computation is arguably more important than ever in physics research and applications, it's rare that a physics department offers more than a single course i...Show More
A set of patterns related to the impact factor of technological journals has been analyzed, with emphasis on radiation instrumentation and medical physics publications. Attention was devoted in particular to two IEEE journals, IEEE Transactions on Nuclear Science and IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, representative of these categories. The results are compared to a similar survey of particle p...Show More
A data-intensive rasterized platform based on high energy physics is a cluster composed of 1600 CPU cores and 600 TB hard disks. This paper introduces a HRD data storage system based on Gluster theory. The software of the chip, such as FPGA and graphics processing unit, is studied in detail. The effects of different types of processors on data intensity are compared. The correctness and high scala...Show More
A recent study using email and Web surveys gathered responses from physics faculty members across the US about their use of numerical computations in the classroom. Responses showed a strong commitment to computational activities from some physics faculty, and a frustration over the lack of such activities from others.Show More
This paper describes a work in progress to redesign the freshman physics course to address the needs of engineering students. Specific ways in which the redesign has been done are: (1) synchronizing certain physics labs to illustrate certain concepts that are necessary to carry out engineering projects in the freshman engineering class; (2) redesigning the remaining lab classes to emphasize fundam...Show More
Nobel laureates are the subject of numerous scientific publications, and interest in this topic is consistently high worldwide. In 2023, the Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and Anne L'Huillier. No detailed studies of the citation indicators of Nobel laureates have been conducted to date. The article presents results of a citation indicators comparative analysi...Show More
Twenty-two students have opted Solid State Physics as an elective in their second semester of their B. Tech course at GITAM Hyderabad. These students were introduced to learning by collaborative methods for new concepts and solve tutorial problem. The A-B-A-B method [1] of instructions was used to evaluate the effect of collaborative learning (CL), with A type being traditional methods and B type ...Show More
This paper discusses the teaching innovation of the college physics under the network circumstance in three facets, such as the teaching materials, a multifunctional teaching platform and the teaching ideas and methods. The college physics teaching under the network circumstance is one of good ways to improve the quality and efficiency of teaching in the modern times.Show More
The HEPData Database has been built up over the past four decades as a unique open-access repository for scattering data from experimental particle physics; it currently comprises data derived from several thousand publications. HEPData is the main source of experimental data for tuning and validating models of high-energy physics processes that are implemented in Monte Carlo event generators. R&D...Show More
The increased importance of computational methods in physics has made it a must-have skill for undergraduate physics majors. The Austin Peay State University (APSU) Department of Physics and Astronomy has recently reinvigorated its program with the help of the Department of Mathematics by adding small computational components to classes across our curricula, as well as adding a single, required Co...Show More
This paper presents a nuclear physics virtual laboratory that is focused on describing the core aspects and features of gamma radiation. Two simulated experiments are described. Each simulated experiment is programmed in full analogy with a real experiment performed in a real laboratory. The duration of each step is the same as in reality. The software used to carry out simulated experiment follow...Show More
Bradley University's Physics Department has developed an incremental approach to computational physics instruction. The instructionIt interweaves modern computational techniques with traditional aspects of upper-level classical mechanics and thermodynamics courses, building from simple to more complex concepts and assignments. By directly programming and controlling all aspects of their computer a...Show More

This study addresses various characteristics of computing and nuclear technology research through a scientometric analysis of the literature related to the IEEE Nuclear Science Symposium, spanning approximately three decades from the LEP and Tevatron era to the LHC era. It analyzes technological research pertaining to computing and instrumentation in nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics and ...Show More
Summary form only given. This talk will present Bose-Einstein condensates as a novel system for atomic physics and for many-body physics. At nanokelvin temperatures, a gas which is 100,000 times more dilute than air shows phenomena characteristic for a condensed matter system. We will discuss studies of superfluidity and quantized vortices.Show More
Summary form only given. Today laser optics is standing on the threshold of new physics frontiers. Until recently, traditional optics and nonlinear optics have addressed phenomena in the eV regime, focusing essentially on the study of the atomic structure of matter. It is today possible to produce intensities in the range of 10/sup 18/-10/sup 22/ W/cm/sup 2/, that is 10/sup 4/-10/sup 6/ higher tha...Show More
By offering a natural, intuitive interface with the virtual world, auditory display can enhance a user's experience in a multimodal virtual environment and further improve the user's sense of presence. However, compared to graphical display, sound synthesis has not been well investigated because of the extremely high computational cost for simulating realistic sounds. The state of the art for soun...Show More
Effects of parasitic crossings (near-miss collisions of two counter-rotating beams at unwanted positions near the IP) are studied in terms of computer simulations for an asymmetric B-factory, APIARY-6.3d. Beams are separated horizontally at the first parasitic crossing points by about 7.6 times the horizontal RMS size of the low energy beam (the larger in size of the two beams). Simulations, inclu...Show More
A family of standard FORTRAN programs that calculate bucket-related quantities as a function of time during acceleration, assuming it is adiabatic, is described. The members of the family are distinguished by the type of input: one family member takes energy and total peak voltage as a function of time, another takes momentum and bucket area as a function of time, etc. The input is in free-format ...Show More
We study a novel type of a semi-supervised anomaly detection problem where the anomalies occur collectively among a background of normal data. Such problem arises in experimental high energy physics when one is trying to discover deviations from known Standard Model physics. We solve the problem by first fitting a mixture of Gaussians to a labeled background sample. We then fit a mixture of this b...Show More
