Week+of+Jan.+14

Jan. 14. Today I met with my Notre Dame correspondent to talk about my project. Our meeting was a bit delayed because he was in a meeting concerning a new particle accelerater. I gave him the sample that Mr. M. and I prepared and he was very impressed and suprised at the amount of remants from our sample preperation. We talked about getting samples from different sources for us to analyze. he told me that I should get about 6 different samples He is going to schedule some beam time for me about the last week in March. Since I need to get about six samples he said that we should be able to get them all done in about one ful day at the lab.
