==Physicists==

  • Elke-Caroline Aschenauer German experimental particle physicist working at the Brookhaven National Laboratory in Long Island, United States. She is an expert on the nucleon structure and on the parton dynamics in the context of quantum chromodynamics. In 2018, Aschenauer has been awarded the prestigious Humboldt Research Award [Humboldt], attributed by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Bonn, Germany. Berndt Mueller, Brookhaven Lab’s Associate Laboratory Director for Nuclear and Particle Physics, mentioned, “Elke has been one of the driving forces of the RHIC Spin program over the past decade, which culminated in the discovery that gluons are major contributors to the spin of the proton. In addition, she has established herself as one of the global leaders developing the science program of a proposed future Electron-Ion Collider. The Humboldt Research Award recognizes her outsized contributions to the science of nucleon structure.”

  • Bragg-Kleeman Rule - \frac{R_1}{R_2}=\frac{\rho_2\sqrt{A_1}}{\rho_1\sqrt{A_2}} where R (1 and 2) are the ranges of particle 1 and 2, \rho (1 and 2) is the density of the medium particle 1 or 2 is traveling through, and A is the atomic weight for particle 1 or 2. It is a relation useful in detection methods for particles. It is discussed briefly in Nuclear Electronics by P.W. Nicholson. I was searching for this article because I had a question about the rule, so I can't really provide much more information.
