Each colored dot represents an identified nuclear fragment from a gold-gold
collision in a Time Projection Chamber; these results are from a
project to improve separation of heavier species, by then-undergraduate
Kerry Forsythe. |

This hand-cranked movie of a simulated nucleus-nucleus collision
was generated by Dr. David Kahana while he was a postdoctoral fellow
at the CNR. |

This device for measuring the spin of neutrons (a polarimeter) has
360 degrees of coverage in scattering azimuth, and was developed
by Prof. John Watson. |
 |
In this Time Projection Chamber, trajectories of charged nuclear
fragments in a magnetic field are reconstructed from a three-dimensional
array of more than two million pixels, using software developed
by Dr. Marvin Justice. |

Prof. Makis Petratos played a major role in the design of this apparatus
at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center; it reveals how the spin
of the quarks inside a nucleon contribute to the nucleon's spin.
