Beyond the Lab with Elisabeth Bodnaruk

Elisabeth at Habitat for Humanity and CHESS

Elisabeth says she feels like she belongs at CHESS, doing whatever it takes to make things work - from building experimental hutches to working with sensitive vacuum equipment.

Detectors at Cornell: Higher Energies, Faster, Enhanced Sensitivity

MM-PAD at G-2 at CHESS

Through the CHESS-U upgrade, the X-rays produced at CHESS are now brighter than ever. Combining these brilliant X-rays with new and inventive detectors developed by the Cornell Detector Group will provide new possibilities for X-ray experiments that are not possible today
