Did You Know? GaGe RazorMax Express Digitizer/Oscilloscope: An Efficient & Cost-Effective Tool for High-Energy Physics Particle Counting Applications
Introduction Figure 1. Examples of photo-mulitiplier tubes, or PMTs (Photo courtesy of Hamamatsu). An important category of experimental physics is nuclear and particle physics, a near synonym for high-energy physics. A broad range of experiments in this domain are classed as scattering experiments in which an incident particle hits a target and the resulting scattered particles are studied. Scattering processes can involve the creation or annihilation of particles. The modern approach to studying scattered particles is to employ particle detectors, devices that detect individual particles impinging upon them. This paper provides an overview of typical instruments [...]

Aviation NewsBrief: Industry Growth Faces Trained Technician Shortage
Introduction Prior to the COVID pandemic, the average age of a highly trained aircraft technician was 57. The airline industry, like so many others, reacted to the pandemic by reducing operations and offering early retirement as way of balancing the workforce with demand. Now the airline industry is experiencing unprecedented growth and thanks to the early retirement of senior MRO technicians, the industry is experiencing a shortfall in its population of qualified personnel. The Problem: Too Few Young Mechanics Joining the Ranks Not enough young mechanics are joining the trade. Exacerbating the situation is [...]
