Marian Jandel: Then and Now / 2013 Early Career Award Winner

The Department of Energy (DOE) Early Career award enabled me and my team to propose and carry out new measurements of reactions with incident neutrons. That is when a neutron interacts with a material, causing nuclear reactions. We carried out these measurements on uranium samples at the DOE's Los Alamos National Laboratory. We successfully measured the capture cross sections of U-234, U-235, U-236, and U-238.
