Physics (13)This project makes a major device, the Stony Brook Tandem Van de Graaff accelerator, accessible to students and educators through both on-site and remote access and allows its use for a wide variety of applications ranging from anthropology (using 14C dating techniques) through nuclear physics. Using video-conference-based tools, students have the opportunity to study nuclear collisions by taking virtual control of a functioning nuclear accelerator and its associated detectors. Among other experiments, students are able to conduct neutron threshold studies, observe resonance states in (p,n) reactions, study heavy-ion reactions, and perform discrete gamma ray experiments. Because the device is also able to make accelerator mass spectrometry measurements, the long-range facility plan is to perform 14C dating to determine the age of biological materials (currently available), detect 26Al (possibly associated with Alzheimer's disease), and measure 41Ca from bones, 36Cl from ice cores, ground water, and glacially-cleaved mountain tops, and 129I from fossil fuel reserves. While the primary focus of the current project is undergraduate education, the accelerator is also available to the pre-college and graduate communities.

物理学（13）该项目是主要设备，Stony Brook Tandem van de Graaff Accelerator，通过现场和远程访问可供学生和教育工作者访问，并允许其用于从人类学（使用14C约会技术）到核物理学的各种应用程序。 使用基于视频会议的工具，学生有机会通过对功能正常的核加速器及其相关检测器进行虚拟控制来研究核冲突。 除其他实验外，学生能够进行中子阈值研究，观察（P，N）反应中的共振状态，研究重离子反应并进行离散的伽马射线实验。 由于该设备还能够进行加速器质谱测量值，因此远程设施计划是执行14C日期，以确定生物材料的年龄（目前可用）（目前可用），检测26AL（可能与阿尔茨海默氏病有关），并从骨骼中测量41CA，从骨头中测量41CA，来自冰核，地下水，地下水，地下水，荧光素养的山地山顶和129 ii colvoss and frous from 36cl。 虽然当前项目的主要重点是本科教育，但加速器也可用于大学前和研究生社区。
