Description

Gertrude Scharff-Goldhaber Prize 2018 recipient is Minjung Kim, Seoul National University. Minjung has been part of the RIKEN International Program Associate program and is currently writing her Ph.D. thesis at Seoul National University under the advisement of Dr. Kiyoshi Tanida.

Her Ph.D. thesis work is about understanding the neutron production mechanism in high-energy particle collisions by measuring the directional preference of production. She discovered that neutrons produced when a spin-aligned (polarized) proton collides with a nucleus have different directional preferences depending on the species of the nucleus, which is contrary to predictions.

This surprising result implies that the mechanisms producing particles may be very different in different types of collisions.
