Welcome

Welcome to the new web pages of the UNH Nuclear and Particle Physics Group, which is part of the Physics Department. The group is currently located in Nesmith Hall, while we wait for the construction of a brand new building at the location of the old DeMeritt Hall. We should be moving into the new facilities in August 2008.

Silicon Vertex Tracker Test Lab

We just started a new project for the CLAS12 detector. We will be constucting a test lab for the Silicon Vertex tracker, the inner most detector system of the upgraded CLAS detector. A simulated picture of this detector is shown in the inset picture. The test lab will involve a complete detector readout system and an x-y-z positioning table, which will position a laser over the silicon detector to be tested.
