SPS Session on Undergraduate Research at the Winter Meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers, January, 2000:
At this meeting, Julia Olafson gave a talk about the background of the proton sea, an analysis of recent experiments, and an explanation of our first determination of ubar(x) and dbar(x) production.
7th Annual Seattle University Celebration of Student Scholarship, April, 2000:
Steven Troy gave a talk much like Julia Olafson did at the AAPT/SPS meeting. The all day event was not just about Physics though and included presentations from many departments at Seattle University including Chemistry, History, and English. This was in preparation for, but not limited to those students who were attending the National Conference on Undergraduate Research (NCUR 2000).
14th National Conference on Undergraduate Research, University of Montana, April, 2000 (NCUR 2000):
This national event brought students from many universities together to present research done in their respective academic fields. At this conference, Steven Troy presented his work with Julia Olafson on the experimental background and a possible theoretical model. Steven and Julia published a paper in the conference proceedings and it is available here as a PDF file: Light Antiquark Flavor Asymmetry in the Proton Sea.
First Joint Meeting of the Nuclear Physics Divisions of the APS and JPS, October, 2001:
Dustin Offerman presented his work on the nucleon-pion splitting function. Shown to reduce to an analytic form, the splitting function is an important step in further calculations of the pion contributions to the meson cloud.
Steven Troy is currently working on a paper focusing on the 2001 E866 data, experimental parameterizations, and the meson cloud model. It will be posted here when finished.
