Double Chooz at Nevis Labs

This report presents my work for Double Chooz at Columbia University’s Nevis Labs during the 2008 Summer REU program. Double Chooz is a neutrino experiment that will either measure or constrain the neutrino mass mixing parameter θ13. Columbia University and collaborators are responsible for the Double Chooz Outer Veto, which detects incoming Cosmic Muons to prevent false signal in the main dete...

Meteorology and Agroforestry Meteorology and Agroforestry

The physical environment affects and interacts with agroforestry systems through tree and crop growth, animal performance, management operations and interactions between the tree/shrub and non-tree components (abbreviated to tree/crop interactions). Interactions take place mainly through the media of microclimate, soil moisture and soil. They may have beneficial or adverse effects, for tree and...
