Undergraduate Research at The College of Wooster Produces 4 More Papers
At the American Physical Society conference in Indianapolis, two undergraduate students from Don
Jacobs' group at the College of Wooster presented papers describing their work on critical point
experiments:
Clinton I. Braganza and D.T. Jacobs "The correlation length of the liquid-liquid mixture
perfluoroheptane and 2,2,4-trimethylpentane," presentation at the March meeting of the American
Physical Society (March, 2002).
Two more papers with undergraduate student collaborators on the critical point research of the
College of Wooster group were presented at two Gordon Conferences:
D.T. Jacobs, Matt Krivos, Christie Ednatuk, Tim SirLouis, and Hannah Wagner, "Avalanche distributions
in a model bead pile" Gordon Conference on Granular Systems (July, 2002).
Ryan D. Hartschuh and D.T. Jacobs "Composition dependence for the near-critical heat capacity of
triethylamine and water," presentation at the March meeting of the American Physical Society
(March, 2002).
Nithya Venkataraman, Chris Locke, and D.T. Jacobs, "Correlation length amplitude for 8-arm
polystyrene in methylcyclohexane near a critical solution point." Gordon Conference on Polymer
Physics (August, 2002).
