Students working!

Nathaniel taking data of the Kaon Aerogel Detector Prototype, configuring the Camac electronics and CODA for data acquisition with signals in coincidence.	Laura setting up the Kaon Aerogel Detector Prototype, configured to measure comic rays particles when passing through the aerogel.	Marco at JLab, helping the students to setup the Kaon Aerogel Detector Prototype.
Dr. Horn teaching and working with the group!	Adam and Daniel preparing the experiment for the characterization of the aerogel refractive index.	Lilian studying ADC and PMT's characteristics, to improve our capability of PMT characterization.
Mike working in prototyping a circuit to amplify low gain PMT's signal.	Gina working in preparing 2" PMTs with scintillator for triggering cosmic rays tests with the Kaon Aerogel prototype.
