Research Interest
- I am a Research Scientist working at Nevis Laboratories of Columbia University's Department of Physics. My research activities are in fields of Elementary Particle Physics, Low Temperature Physics and Cryogenics, in particular on:
- Cryogenic Liquid Particle Detectors
- Electron Transportations in Noble Gas and Liquids
- Low power cryocoolers
- Thermal/fluid analysis and design
- Heat and Mass Transfer
- I am currently conducting research on development of next-generation neutrino detectors at future colliding-beam facilities, so called Electron Bubble Particle Detector, using cryogenic liquids (Liquid Helium, Neon and hydrogen) as the detecting medium, for the detection of low-energy particle tracks, such as Neutrinos, from the Sun and accelerator beams and nuclear reactors. Research are mainly conducted at Nevis Laboratories of Columbia University at New York City, NY, Brookhaven National Laboratory at Long Island, NY
- The project of Electron Bubble Particle Detector focuses in particular on the interactions of neutrinos scattering off atomic electrons in the detecting medium (cryogenic liquids), resulting in recoil electrons which can be measured experimentally, aimed at the detection of 1000 solar electron-neutrino scattering events per year in a liquid helium detector with 5-tons sensitive mass in a large volume cylindrical chamber, having a diameter of about 3 meters and height of roughly 6.5 meters.
- Such a program would allow the determination of the feasibility of constructing a modest-size tracking chamber that in turn would lead to a study for a large solar neutrino detector, which will provide a simultaneous and critical test of stellar evolution theory and of Solar neutrino oscillation questions. We anticipate that this technology may open up new possibilities for next-generation neutrino detectors, and may also have applications in detecting 'dark matter' particles.
