John M. Carpenter

Professor John M. Carpenter has served for nine years on the faculty of the Department of Nuclear Engineering at the University of Michigan, teaching both graduates and undergraduates in fields of introductory nuclear engineering, reactor theory, reactor power plants, the laboratory in nuclear measurements, and the nuclear reactor laboratory. His research interests lie in measurements of slow-neutron inelastic-scattering cross sections, neutron diffraction from glassy solids, time-dependent neutron thermalization, reactor noise, Cerenkov detectors, protonrecoil fast-neutron spectroscopy, and in the development of intense, pulsed slow-neutron sources. He has worked closely with Argonne National Laboratory and with Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, and is now on leave, at Argonne, working on the program to develop the intense neutron source, called ZING. He is vice-chairman of the Michigan Section of the American Nuclear Society.
