Sample interview questions: Have you published any research papers in the field of nuclear physics? If so, can you provide details?
Sample answer:
Yes, I have published several research papers in the field of nuclear physics. Here are some examples:
- Title: Measurement of the neutron capture cross section of 238U at keV energies using the DANCE array
Abstract: The neutron capture cross section of 238U was measured at keV energies using the DANCE array at the Los Alamos Neutron Science Center. The DANCE array is a 4π BaF2 detector array that is used to measure the gamma rays emitted from neutron capture reactions. The measurement was performed using a pulsed neutron beam from the Lujan Center’s Weapons Neutron Research facility. The results of the measurement are important for understanding the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in the universe.

- Title: Search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76Ge with the GERDA experiment
Abstract: The GERDA experiment is a search for neutrinoless double-beta decay of 76Ge. Neutrinoless double-beta decay is a hypothetical decay process that violates lepton number conservation. The observati… Read full answer
