Possibility of measuring the thermal Casimir interaction between a plate and a cylinder attached to a micromachined oscillator
R. S. Decca, E. Fischbach, G. L. Klimchitskaya +3
We investigate the possibility of measuring the thermal Casimir force and its gradient in the configuration of a plate and a microfabricated cylinder attached to a micromachined os…
Fluctuations in Student Understanding of Newton's 3rd Law
Jessica W. Clark, Eleanor C. Sayre, Scott V. Franklin
We present data from a between-student study on student response to questions on Newton's Third Law given throughout the academic year. The study, conducted at Rochester Institute…
Students' Responses To Different Representations Of A Vector Addition Question
Jeffrey M. Hawkins, John R. Thompson, Michael C. Wittmann +2
We investigate if the visual representation of vectors can affect which methods students use to add them. We gave students one of four questions with different graphical representa…
Compact Toroidal Ion Trap Design and Optimization
M. J. Madsen, C. H. Gorman
We present the design of a new type of compact toroidal, or "halo", ion trap. Such traps may be useful for mass spectrometry, studying small Coulomb cluster rings, quantum informat…
Study of the dependence of 198Au half-life on source geometry
R. M. Lindstrom, E. Fischbach, J. B. Buncher +5
We report the results of an experiment to determine whether the half-life of \Au{198} depends on the shape of the source. This study was motivated by recent suggestions that nuclea…
