UH Manoa Physics Graduate Student Mark Duvall of the neutrino group has been awarded a prestigious US Department Of Energy Office of Science Graduate Student Research Award to support a year of work at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory on studies of electron anti-neutrino directional detectors, with the eventual goal of applying these analyses to data from
the UH miniTimeCube and NuLat experiments. Applications include sterile
neutrino searches and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons and materials. He will reside in Livermore from November 2016 for one year, extendable.
