Professor 112 Sharp Lab (302) 831-2988 evenson@udel.edu http://www.bartol.udel.edu/~penguin/

Fields of Research

Dr. Evenson received both his undergraduate education and his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.

His primary research interests are the acceleration of solar and galactic cosmic rays and the study of the heliospheric magnetic field by observation of the propagation of cosmic rays through this field. From 1999-2001, Dr. Evenson served as Program Director for Solar Terrestrial Research at the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Virginia.

At Bartol he has established a program of high altitude balloon flights from northern Canada designed to give graduate students hands-on experience with modern research equipment and field operations on a timescale consistent with thesis research. Regular flights are conducted with an apparatus to study the time-dependence of the intensity of cosmic electrons and positrons. A payload to make a precision determination of the cosmic ray iron flux at 100 TeV is now under development. He is also an active participant in the Bartol neutron monitor program, including the Spaceship Earth collaboration.
