    Walter Hopkins is a graduate student working with Professor Julia Thom on identifying and measuring the rate of decays of the Bs meson into two oppositely charged muons at the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF). The CDF detector identifies and measures the momentum and energy of the products of proton and anti-proton collisions at the Tevatron, a powerful accelerator at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory in Illinois. Until the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) at CERN is completely operational, the Tevatron ... read more
