Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoseph Newton is a postdoctoral research fellow at Jefferson Lab with nine years of experience in experimental nuclear physics, specializing in electron scattering analysis using the CLAS12 detector. He leads data analysis for the RG-A J/psi photoproduction experiment, developing C++/ROOT workflows to reconstruct near quasi-real events and integrating binary magnetic field maps into GEANT4 simulations. His work blends hands-on detector expertise—especially with High-Threshold and Ring Imaging Cherenkov Counters—with software and simulation development, enabling precise event selection and realistic Monte Carlo studies. Trained at Old Dominion University (PhD, MS, BS summa cum laude in Physics), he combines rigorous academic grounding with practical instrumentation skills that often bridge analysis code and detector hardware.
