you either get the job done or you don’t I just came back to do my part to help Coach Rhule and help the University of Nebraska win.” Ekeler has only been back in Nebraska for a couple months but the team and its culture have made a great early impression on him “I just love them,” said Ekeler Ekeler said he’s learned a great deal since his first stint at Nebraska and is looking forward to using that knowledge to help the current group of Huskers develop and succeed words like ‘wishing,’ ‘trying’ and ‘hoping’ hold no weight “The standard’s to be the best and that’s the standard and that’s what we’re going to do,” Ekeler said The 2025 NFL Draft took place in Green Bay and two Nebraska players heard their names called Six others signed as undrafted free agents Here is a list of each player along with some statistics from their last season at Nebraska..

and colleagues responded to the news and how everyone and anyone can help him and all those dealing with this disease: It’s the most common compliment I receive since my life-changing event 10 months ago It was the week leading into Father’s Day last year when I started to not feel myself The first symptom I experienced was double vision I didn’t think much of it because my eyes have been a bit wonky for the majority of my adult life (I had cataract surgery for the first time when I was 30 -- true story) Sitting at my desk here at the National Hockey League that Wednesday it felt as though someone was performing the Heimlich maneuver on me and not letting go My normal weekend here at NHL.com is Thursday-Friday so I figured I’d just get through the rest of my shift My wife accompanied me to our nearby hospital where they began running tests I had that exam and waited a bit before the Emergency Department doctor on duty returned “Did you know you had a stroke at some point?” so it wasn’t anything that happened recently “We’re going to keep you overnight and do an MRI in the morning,” he said Saturday and wheeled me down to the testing room interrupted by loud beeps every few seconds My wife had stayed with our two teenagers at home Friday night and was back in my hospital room around 10 a.m We waited together for a doctor to swing by and tell me I was fine and it was OK to go home you have lesions on your brain,” he told me who was in Edmonton for the Stanley Cup Final He knew I was in the hospital but just like me was waiting to hear that I was OK I was composed until shortly after I spilled the words He thought the call dropped because I hadn’t responded I couldn’t -- I was too busy sobbing uncontrollably “This is a lot,” I managed to eventually get out With my colleagues here at the NHL aware of my situation one reached out and connected me with a family member who also has MS It’s one thing to receive support from family and friends but I needed to speak with someone going through it He’s about my age and has been living with MS for almost 20 years “The first thing you need to know is you’re going to be OK,” he told me I explained how I have a 19-year-old daughter and wondered even if I was physically present would I be able to walk her down the aisle one day After another battery of tests over the next few weeks I was officially diagnosed with Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (RRMS) in mid-July and began a monthly treatment in August designed to slow the disease’s progression My neurologist informed me 10-15 years ago there wasn’t much help available in terms of treatment but things have drastically improved in that area since Between modern medicine and some life changes Spending time on a treadmill has become part of my daily routine With the weather getting warmer here in New York I go for walks and try to clear my head (rarely with much success But I still get to do what I love -- I come to work for the NHL every day I should be able to come up with the words in this space to describe what the support from the League has meant and continues to mean to me but I’m the only one who can tell the difference (at least that’s what I tell myself – my wife’s intuition is pretty remarkable) On the outside I look fine (that’s where the “You look great” comes in) but inside my brain is sending mixed messages to my immune system I occasionally deal with sharp pains in my right hand And there are some days when I’m incredibly moody and/or just too tired to do anything It's a learning process both for me and my family I will be participating in my first Walk MS event I’ll be one of roughly 1,500 people at Jones Beach with the hope of helping the National Multiple Sclerosis Society achieve its goal of raising $500,000 The MS Society has funded more than $1 billion in research and has made more breakthroughs for MS than any other neurological disease It hosts more than 200 Walk MS events across the United States and hopes to raise $30 million this year alone The amount of people in the corner of those like me provide hope there will be a cure in the not-too-distant future our fight to look and feel great continues To contribute to Brian Compton’s first Walk MS, click here: the son of Arthur Morten Compton and Hilda (Rockweiler) Compton Art Graduated from Weston High School in 1958 He married

Recovery Scorecard researchers used test scores from the National Assessment of Educational Progress, which is based on a relatively small sample of fourth- and eighth-graders, and determined a correlation to state testing programs that measured virtually all third- through eighth-grade students. This calculation allowed for a comparison of 8,719 school districts across 43 states. World & Nation Scores nationwide and in California have yet to rebound from pandemic-era declines The Compton turnaround — which also is reflected in other analyses — has rewritten the script for a school system that for decades made headlines with bad news: a district bankruptcy cheating scandals and perpetually low student achievement Giovanni Carcamo tutors students in Integrated Math 3 at Compton High School Chun / Los Angeles Times) Students in Compton are scoring more than half a grade level better in math than in 2019 and approaching half a grade level better in reading In contrast, state and national scores show the average student remains half a grade level behind pre-pandemic achievement in both reading and math. In reading, especially, students are even further behind than they were in 2022, the new analysis shows. “Test scores in Compton were increasing rapidly before the pandemic, and have continued increasing,” said Sean F. Reardon, professor of poverty and inequality in education at Stanford University. In 2015, Compton students scored two grade levels below the California average and 2.5 grade levels below the national average. Today, Reardon said, Compton has matched the state average in math and stands about one-third of a grade level below the state average in reading: “That’s a remarkable and sustained pattern of improvement over the last decade.” Compton’s formula, which includes prepping students for standardized testing, is an approach considered controversial in some quarters. An overemphasis on test prep can narrow the curriculum and make school less engaging and less academically and socially nurturing in the long run, some educators say. Compton administrators think they’ve found a reasonable balance. The district justifies a test-centered strategy on the grounds that the state testing is aligned with what students are supposed to be learning. The Compton approach includes frequent diagnostic tests that are used to get students accustomed to the language of testing and also to adjust teaching and to single out students for extra help — in school, after school or on Saturdays. Compton High School has been operating out of the former Roosevelt Middle School campus for six years. A new high school campus will be open in August. (Myung J. Chun / Los Angeles Times) The data analysis in Compton happens at all levels. Teachers meet weekly with their colleagues within their schools. Principals at each academic level — elementary, middle and high school — gather every four to six weeks with one another and Supt. Darin Brawley. Students are included in the analysis so they know where they stand. “Looking at my data, it kind of disappoints me” when the numbers are low, said sixth-grader Harmoni Knight, a student at Davis Middle School. “But it makes me realize I can do better in the future, and also now.” Compton also has relied heavily on a form of tutoring that researchers have deemed most effective — immediate in-person, in-class help. The district deploys more than 250 tutors daily to classes across the school system of about 17,000 students. The district has benefited, too, from philanthropy and higher levels of state and federal aid — and appears to have used such resources effectively. Compton received $9,064 per student from the federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief program for COVID-19 pandemic recovery — one of the highest amounts in California, according to the researchers. By comparison, L.A. Unified, the nation’s second-largest school system, also fell into this high funding category, receiving nearly $200 more per student than Compton. L.A. has fared much better since the pandemic than a number of other large school systems, but it has not kept pace with the rate of improvement in Compton. The researchers concluded that, across the nation, more money made a positive difference, but that it helped some school districts more than others. Stable leadership also could be a factor for Compton: Brawley joined the school system as superintendent in 2012 after leading school-turnaround efforts as a deputy superintendent in Adelanto. “When I first got here,” Brawley said, “every surrounding district was kicking our tail, whether it was Lynwood, Paramount, L.A. Unified, Bellflower — you name it. They were all outperforming us. So we began literally benchmarking their performance so that our performance would become better. And we started establishing smart goals to produce better results.” Darin Brawley is the superintendent of the Compton Unified School District. (Myung J. Chun / Los Angeles Times) Compton high school math instructor Annie Belonio, who started teaching in Compton in 2002, said that early in her career the training and curriculum guidance was “hit and miss.” “They would give one day of training at the start of the year and then give you the curriculum and you’re on your own,” she said. But for the last decade or more, “we started having curriculum councils with teachers of different levels. We meet, talk, plan out things that should be included and how to deliver and how to assess.” The district targets areas that the state measures — reading and math test scores — but also graduation rates, college preparation, chronic absenteeism and suspension rates. “We wanted Compton Unified to become one of the best ... [among] the districts that we benchmark ourselves against,” Brawley said. “And we’ve pretty much done that.” Brawley’s presentation includes a list of school districts across the state with a poverty rate similar to the 93% of Compton students who qualify for a free or reduced-price school lunch because of low family income. Among those districts, Compton is a leader in overall academic achievement, not just rate of improvement. California’s own test data back up Brawley’s claims, while also making clear the challenges that lie ahead. In Compton, for grades 3 through 8, 41.9% of students were reading at a proficient level in tests administered last spring. This compares with 39.8% in L.A. Unified and 44.8% for the state. In math, Compton’s proficiency rate was 36.7%, compared with 34.6% for L.A. Unified and 36.9% for California. “Even though we gained, and we celebrate the gains, at the end of the day we all know that we can do better,” Brawley said. Brawley said his current goals include a 50% proficiency rate for math and 60% for reading. On a recent Friday, second-year instructor Nathalie Robles was teaching Compton High 11th-graders about exponents in her integrated math class — and had multiple strategies to make sure students were keeping up. She carried cards with student names — so that she would call on everyone. She set a timer for certain math problems — so all students knew they were being challenged to pay attention and move quickly. She called students up to a white board to explain how they solved math problems. But it’s hard to know in the moment whether all 28 students are keeping up, even though she moved from table to table to help them. Eric Foster, an 11th-grader, works a problem during an Integrated Math 3 class at Compton High School. (Myung J. Chun / Los Angeles Times) For this class, she had two tutors also moving from table to table. One of them, Joseph Flores, glided toward a student table to help a girl with a quizzical expression. She was hesitating over a problem involving the manipulation of exponents. “We take the exponent from the top minus the exponent from the bottom, right?” explained Flores, who majored in math at Cal State L.A. After about a minute of coaching, the student was ready to finish the problem. “We’re immediately reinforcing what they’re learning,” Flores said. “We are able to really key in on any type of concerns that they might have, anything that they might have missed, really just making sure that they get all their questions answered there and then before they forget.” “I see a drastic improvement in the students from the beginning of the semester to the end of the school year.” This approach also builds on research stressing the importance of having students learn a concept when it’s first taught to them — because it’s harder to catch up. Delshanae Williams, a Compton High 11th-grader, recalled that in middle school she had worked with math tutors every day. Now she’s in honors math. Her classmate Froylan Diaz said it was hard to get back on track — academically and socially — when campuses reopened after the pandemic emergency was over. “The pandemic affected me in the way where I didn’t understand the subject or the math as much as I do now, in person,” he said. “I felt that I struggled more during the pandemic because it wasn’t hands-on... working out the problems in person.” Associated Press reporters Annie Ma, Jocelyn Gecker and Sharon Lurye contributed reporting and analysis.

first community college in Los Angeles County to offer campus housing to its students CCCD Student Housing RenderingCompton College President and CEO Dr Keith Curry says Jackson and Louden were worried about their peers’ lack of basic needs and immediately brought their concerns to him “It was a great conversation when they first brought it forward ‘How do we do it,” says Curry in an interview with Diverse “I give them the credit for it because they got me to think about it differently and what we could do so seeing student activists seeing what we need was good.” Jackson and Louden had just begun their roles as Compton College’s Associated Student Body President and Vice President when they approached Curry. and I think we felt that space gave us the courage to believe that we could create change,” says Jackson “Our roles also gave us the conviction that we should.” Rallying The Community the student leaders called on their community at Compton College for support their efforts grew into a larger task force committed to addressing housing Their next step was to identify Compton College students who identified as homeless “I recall me and Joshua going into classrooms to say utilize your voice,’ because the school can’t address a problem if there’s no need for it.” Louden says that their roles as campus leaders positioned them to advocate for their fellow students and the longevity of the institution but to address the needs that we could see that Compton College had opening the showers that were going unused by the football team and supplying bathroom kits and supplies,” he says Compton College began implementing additional programs designed to serve students’ needs Keith Curry“It’s not just about a lack of physical space to live “This was not just about providing resources This was about fostering community and belonging.” who previously served as the Dean of Student Services at Compton College and has been instrumental in the college’s growth says that his role in this process was to also be courageous “I announced at one of our professional development days the need to build student housing ‘we’ll be the first ones to build housing,’ and sometimes you have to dream Sometimes you have to say stuff and get people united because you said it.” Curry also became one of the founding chairpersons of the Chief Executive Officers of the California Community Colleges’ Affordability Food & Housing Access Taskforce in spring 2018 This group provides system-wide recommendations to address housing and food insecurities for California Community College students “I was advocating statewide for basic needs so then I was able to fold in that advocacy to include food and also housing,” says Curry Once Compton College gathered all of the data and support they needed “I think the most important piece to this was we didn’t ask for the planning grant,” remembers Curry “We went directly for the project funding grant

the Compton Community College District to build their proposed 250+ bed student housing facility who has emerged as a national thought-leader on community colleges “When we’re talking about student

three types of living configurations: 50 double-room units with access to shared bathrooms and common spaces 50 double-suite units with bathrooms and access to common spaces The student housing will also include study areas “We’re showing other colleges that this can be done,” says Curry we’re the first community college in the state of California whose accreditation was revoked and to go from that in 2006 to be where we’re at now and to be on the cutting edge that tells you that transformation can happen but transformation can happen in communities where we look like the students.” not just for Compton but for communities of color all over the country “We’re always criticizing what we don’t do in our communities and that gives people hope that change is coming,” he says this gives the students the opportunity to say look at my backyard Big things have been on the horizon for Compton College for some time now rapper Kendrick Lamar surprised 2024 Compton College graduating students as their graduation speaker you can see the words from Kendrick Lamar where he talks about the value of our degree and how important it is and what it means to be a Compton College graduate,” says Curry and now you see a college in your community that is doing stuff that makes you proud that means you know you’re a part of something that’s bigger than us.” Phase one is just the beginning of Compton College 2035 a comprehensive master plan outlining the college’s plans to provide students with state-of-the-art facilities including a physical education complex and a visual and performing arts complex but this is another notch to add under the belt of why Compton is just a historic and beautiful place,” says Jackson Serving As A Model For Other Community Colleges In California And Beyond In addition to Compton College being the first community college in LA County to have student housing the housing project is also the first prefabricated modular student housing project that is design-approved by the California Division of the State Architect A prefabricated modular means that most of the building will be built thousands of miles away the construction management company managing the project “They’re going to build them in a factory in Idaho and then they’re going to ship them by truck to our site and use a crane to place them.” This model is designed to decrease construction time and disruptions “What we’re saving is sustainability and time nuisance for the students,” says Lelie you’re dropping all those modules into place in two weeks.” the exterior and final touches will be completed This will save about six months of traditional construction time and eventually other campuses will use this idea and this method of prefab modular in order to build their student housing,” says Lelie which is the architecture company responsible for some of the first non-modular student housing on community college campuses took on this project to continue building cutting-edge experiences and homes for community college students They wanted the design to provide not only a place to sleep but also academic support and integration into the broader campus “As we learned about how to deliver modular student housing it was really taking the program that [Compton College] had already established in terms of number of beds and the types of beds and then looking at how we could do that in a way that created community,” says Larry Frapell principal and president of HPI architecture “We wanted the amenities to be easy to get to a combination of both indoor and outdoor spaces HPI has a long history of serving higher education and “We have a good understanding of not only the need for housing but how housing relates to community college students and how to integrate that in a community college campus,” says Frapell “It’s part of a greater campus and part of a greater community so we hope that this becomes a home for students and that this is a desirable place to live.” Jackson and Louden are proud of the legacy they left to be continued for generations to come Jackson says that he recently spoke with the two students who inspired the project’s advocacy I’m grateful to be a part of history in this regard I’m grateful for what I call following a tradition of activism that’s taking place at Compton College and just through our history as Black folks generally that Compton’s faith in humanity is one of its superpowers. “Compton made that choice as an institution to restore faith in humanity,” says Louden “and in

takeover happened Sunday night near Rosecrans and Atlantic avenues according to the California Highway Patrol Footage shows as many as three spectators running toward the only patrol car in the area at the time with cellphones in their hands The agency said the sergeant drove away to avoid escalating the situation what seemed to be gunshots were heard going off but that they were coming from a different direction away from him The CHP sergeant was not shot at by the spectators It remains unclear where the shots came from and who they were directed at IN (WSBT) — Notre Dame is hosting the

The problem starts well before college because many students develop a fear of STEM early in their educational journeys Compton Unified School District appears to have identified a solution the proportion of Compton students choosing STEM careers has soared to 51% from 24% over the last decade As a student teacher I witnessed extreme inequalities in how science is communicated and taught at California elementary schools Several factors explain the district’s success in motivating students to take — and excel in — STEM courses the district begins exposing students to STEM activities while they’re in preschool Students in preschool programs begin to learn basic coding concepts even as they’re still playing with blocks some are participating in First Lego League robotics competitions STEM topics have been integrated throughout schools’ curricula so students see that their STEM knowledge can be applied to a variety of fields “I make it as creative and as relevant as possible for my students,” Trina Brown a veteran math teacher at Whaley Middle School then they’re going to be more engaged with it.” These approaches are used with all students in the district not just a select few who have had to jump through academic hurdles A scholarships platform created during the COVID-19 pandemic aims to help young people find the necessary money to pursue higher education “We see our role as making sure that students of color coming out of Compton have every ability they will need to participate in the global economy,” Supt we saw genuine excitement in classrooms and other learning spaces students sat at cockpit controls at a bank of flight simulators guiding virtual planes students flew drones through various obstacles part of an effort to engage them in the booming drone industry Students work with 3D printers in the Verizon Innovative Learning Laboratory seniors take college courses at Compton Community College and work with robots for a competition The district also offers e-sports in its schools The activity has successfully engaged students and “has an intense educational value,” Brawley said “they have to communicate and collaborate with each other as well as be creative to defeat the team they are playing against.” The enthusiasm of the students we met is the most compelling evidence of success We talked to one senior with plans to attend the Savannah College of Art and Design and major in game design where she’d like to double-major in marine biology and environmental science A third was admitted to Cal State Long Beach Like many of their Compton school district peers they will be first-generation college students Their example will pave the way for many others With supplemental funding and corporate partnerships more districts with large Black and Latino populations can follow Compton’s example integrating STEM early and across subjects Helping all kinds of students achieve success in STEM is a critical issue nationwide Compton is showing how every student can have access to some of the most challenging Pedro Noguera is the dean of the USC Rossier School of Education. Louis Freedberg is the interim chief executive of EdSource. They are host and executive producer, respectively, of the Sparking Equity podcast, where they produced two episodes on Compton Metrics details The evolution of the entanglement measure during Compton scattering is studied Our analytical results show that the corresponding measure coincides with the concurrence of the two-qubit state arising after scattering The state never collapses to a separable one The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two This is consistent with local quantum field theory and “spooky action at a distance” is not required to explain the change in state of nonlocally entangled qubits during the measurement of one of them Our dedicated experiment with annihilation photons confirms these results and explains the “Puzzle of Decoherence” observed recently In this paper we study the behavior of entanglement during polarization measurements (aka Compton scattering in the case of annihilation photons) Monte-Carlo simulations of classically correlated photons The results of the first two approaches are valid at any energy and the actual experiment was carried out for annihilation photons Entanglement reveals itself as directly observable interferometric visibility visibility is degraded due to the polarimeter’s intrinsic efficiency which varies from zero to one depending on the scattering angle in the Compton polarimeter so additional effort is required to extract entanglement from visibility where ${r_e}$ is the classical electron radius $E_i$ is the energy of the incident photon $E_f$ is the energy of the scattered photon $\theta$ is the angle between the incident and scattered photons momenta forming the scattering plane, $\phi$ is the angle between the scattering plane and the direction of polarization of the incident photon, and, finally, $m_e$ is an electron mass. As follows from the Eq. (1) photons are scattered predominantly orthogonally to the plane of polarization This property is used to measure the polarization of high energy photons using Compton polarimeters As follows from the definition and Eq. (2) the analyzing power can be considered as a function of $E_i$ and $\theta$ the efficiency of a polarimeter depends on the scattering angle and for $E_i=511$ keV reaches maxim of $A = 0.69$ at $\theta =82^\circ$ and at $\theta =90^\circ$ is a few percent lower At least two Compton polarimeters are required for measuring angular correlations of annihilation photon pairs We refer to the particles in the pair as photons “a” and “b” Each elementary polarimeter consists of a Compton scatterer and two detectors of scattered gammas arranged orthogonally Like a conventional visible light polarimeter the scatterer measures the polarization of high-energy annihilation photons and scattered photon detectors act as photodetectors in optical polarimeters Left: Schematic diagram of a two-arm experimental setup for measuring polarization correlations of annihilation photons Each arm consists of a pre-scatterer and a main scatterer The source of positrons is placed in a lead collimator between the arms black arrows indicate normals to the scattering planes in the polarimeter and red arrows indicate normals to the pre-scattering plane For forward scattering $\phi = \phi _a+\phi _b$ is the azimuthal angle between the signal photon counters Right: Photo of the experimental setup arm The blue line shows the path of the photon scattered in the main scatterer and absorbed in the counter When polarizations of two photons are correlated their counts in two directions separated by an angle $\phi$ will be modulated in general as producing the same $\nu$ but with better accuracy The positron and electron annihilate predominantly with zero relative angular momentum into a two-photon state The resulting two photons have opposite momenta and an energy of 511 keV Due to the parity and angular momentum conservation the two-photon polarization state is described as a combination of left and right hand circularly polarized photons ${\Phi ^-} = ( |{L_a}{L_b}\rangle - |{R_a}{R_b}\rangle )/{\sqrt{2}}$ Since Compton scattering is sensitive to linear polarization it is easy to find that $\nu _{cc}=\frac{1}{2} A(E_{ai},\theta _{a})\ This factorization of visibility into the efficiency of polarimeters should not be specific to the states considered it can be expected that the appropriate measure of entanglement (characteristic of the state being measured) and the efficiency of the polarimeter (characteristic of the measuring device) should factorise for these notions to make sense for the general two-photon state \(\rho$ measured in a polarimeter where in the second equality we used $E_i = m_e$, displaying the explicit angular dependence for this case. The first expression is true at all energies, but at low energies $\gamma = 2$, which gives an explicit angular dependence of the entanglement measure at $E_i \ll m_e$. the horizontal error bars indicate bin sizes in $\theta$ in the measurements of classical correlations there is no place for SAD is considered inherent in quantum mechanics we see that the evolution of both types of correlations during the measurement process is the same In this section we will obtain a simple and transparent approximation for the polarization state of a photon pair after scattering. Despite the simplifications, at high energies, $E_i \gtrsim m_e$, the concurrence of the derived state gives sufficiently accurate approximation of Eq. (8) where $P^{~}_{V\rightarrow H}$ gives the probability to find horizontal polarization of a scattered photon if the initial one was vertically polarized $P^{~}_{H\rightarrow V}$ is defined similarly while $P^{~}_{V\rightarrow V} = 1- P^{~}_{V\rightarrow H}$ and $P^{~}_{H\rightarrow H} = 1 - P^{~}_{H\rightarrow V}$ after scattering (measurement) of the first photon will collapse to a mixed separable state described by the density matrix The scattering (evolution) of the first photon proceeds locally and does not affect the polarization state of the second photon There is no steering or “spooky action” at a distance here The two-photon state remains pure after scattering The state is fixed then by the following ket vector SAD is not expected to arise during the evolution of entanglement within QFT. And this did not happen, as we saw above. If it exists, as is often explicitly or implicitly assumed, then it must be new physics. This should and can be investigated experimentally within our approach. The solid and dotted curves, as well as the meaning of the blue dots with error bars, are the same as in the left panel of Fig. 2 the red dots with error bars represent the result of our experiment with annihilation photons the first four bins with non-zero $\theta$ are combined into one The datapoints at $\theta =0$ correspond to the initial annihilation photons that did not experience scattering and the corresponding symbols are shifted slightly to the right for clarity Further details are given in section “Methods” experimentally measured entanglement as a function of scattering angle is twice the classical correlations within error limits and both are consistent with our theoretical expectations We investigated the polarization correlations of initially maximally entangled photons in a state where one of them was previously scattered in Monte-Carlo simulations and in dedicated experiment for annihilation photons Pre-scattering can be thought of as a measurement of polarization since it is in no way different from the scattering employed in subsequent measurements in Compton polarimeters The question of how the final mixed state can be described or best approximated is of interest and sets the direction for future theoretical research In deriving these results for quantum entangled states the absence of “spooky action at a distance” we have shown that the initially classically correlated state evolves in exactly the same way except that the resulting $C(\theta ,E_i)$ is always half as large that the evolution of entangled states can be modelled using the Geant4 toolkit and initially classically correlated states and then multiplying the results by a factor of 2 $C(\theta ,m_e)$ describes our experimental results within errors for measured ranges of scattering angle Collapse of the two photon state into separable one does not occur despite scattering is a measurement of polarization of one of the photons All of the above proves the absence of quantum “spooky action at a distance” underlying the EPR paradox based on the hypothetically assumed absence of correlations for pre-scattered events and means that the corresponding kinematic constraints cannot be used to suppress scattering background in QE-PET Our approach provides a method to experimentally test for the presence of SAD: if a change in the state of a distant photon is needed to explain the measured correlations we assume that the detected photons represent a fair sample of the emerging photons The source is located in the center of a lead cube having a horizontal tunnel with a diameter of 5 mm This provides collimated beams of annihilation photons in opposite directions from the source aimed at the main scatterers of the Compton polarimeters The coincidence time window for main scatterers is set to 6 ns To further reduce the already small random background we require that the time interval between the signals in the main scatterers and the NaI(Tl) detectors of scattered photons in each polarimeter arm be less than 30 ns the random background within the specified detection window is only about 0.01% We placed pre-scatterers in front of the main scatterers Polarimeters measure the polarization of either the initial entangled photons if no interaction is detected in intermediate scatterers or the photons pre-scattered on ambient electrons in one of the intermediate scatterers Both types of events were collected in parallel and classified by scattering angle depending on the energy release in the counters and intermediate scatterers Simultaneous signal events in both pre-scatterers are rare and we do not take them into account at this stage Scattered photons are recorded by a ring of 16 scintillation counters installed in each arm orthogonally to the setup axis with an azimuthal angle between adjacent counters of $22.5^{\circ }$ This azimuthally symmetrical arrangement cancels possible systematic errors caused by different efficiencies and inaccuracies in the position of photon counters a complete ring of scattered photon detectors makes it possible to measure scattered photon correlations over the entire range of azimuthal angles Data were collected over a six-month experiment The initial and pre-scattered states of the annihilation photons are separated from each other depending on the detection of pre-scattering energy release, if any. Therefore, reliable identification of photon interactions in an intermediate scatterer is mandatory for tagging quantum states. In our case a bright inorganic scintillator, a gadolinium-aluminum-gallium garnet (GAGG), is used as an intermediate scatterer, providing a low detection threshold of deposited energies. Left: Time spectrum of events in the intermediate scatterer The flat electronic noise spectrum is indicated by the blue line The time window selected for analysis is displayed as a shaded area Right: The energy release spectrum in the intermediate scatterer is shown by the red line The black line corresponds to the simulated Monte Carlo energy spectrum As can be seen from the shape of the simulated energy spectrum only a very small fraction of pre-scattered events with the lowest energy release in the intermediate scatterer are lost some fraction of the initial photons can be accepted as pre-scattered events if the relatively high electronic noise (with equivalent energy of about a few keV) in the intermediate scatterer mimics the interaction signal the electronic noise timing will have a flat distribution The fraction of such noisy events in a wide time window is at the sub-percentage level nevertheless we cut these events adjusting the time window as shown The accuracy of the scattering angle determination is related to the energy resolution of the GAGG scintillator and is equal to ${\Delta \theta }/{\theta } = {0.05}/{\sqrt{E_G/(30\; {\text {keV}})}}$ where $E_G$ is the energy released in GAGG Energy deposition spectrum in photon counters for three types of events The black line corresponds to correlated events with zero energy release in both intermediate scatterers The red line corresponds to events in which one of the photons experienced preliminary scattering The different scattering kinematics are shown near the corresponding peaks and blue boxes represent the intermediate scatterer The energy range corresponding to backscattering events is highlighted in red shading The low-energy tail in this spectrum corresponds to the partial energy release in the counter caused by the photon escape from it Normalized counts in detectors of scattered photons as a function of azimuthal angle between these photons for different energies of recoil electrons.

As he got older he went on wheat harvest for a couple of years during the summer He knew the conductor of the train that passed through Fritch and would hop onto the train when it stopped at the small depot building just north of where the Cefco store is now located The train would continue on to Sanford where they would spend several hours moving and switching cars for Phillips Petroleum The train continued on and stopped in Morse where the engineer and conductor had a favorite place to eat breakfast Dib’s employer would pick him up there and he worked for several days harvesting wheat before returning He graduated from Phillips High School and went right to work for NGPL His first job was to assist in the maintenance of the 40+ houses located in the company camp Dib married Elva Coilla Lievsay February 15 1951 and they made their home in a small “shotgun” house in Fritch He started building a house and worked on it while holding down his full-time job His tools consisted of a dilapidated table saw and several old hand tools acquired from his dad The work on the house continued for years because he bought materials as he had the money He lived his entire life with the belief that if you don’t have the money to pay for it you don’t need it The house was covered with black tar paper and had no windows for two years while waiting to save enough money to buy the windows He worked on the house every spare minute and became a pretty skilled builder He finally reached a point that the house was ready to be bricked so he drove to Amarillo to talk with brick masons that were working in the newer neighborhoods After the second visit he came home and said “I can do this.” He ordered the brick and laid every brick on the house teaching his children that fear of failure will cripple you. He finished his work with NGPL in the pipeline maintenance department at age 58 His happiest years were after he retired and could work for himself He continued to do physical labor and was still installing and repairing roofs into his early eighties. hard work and giving defined his character He was always willing to lend a helping hand to someone in need He was a long time member of the Fritch Church of Christ. 5 grandchildren and 15 great grandchildren. Viewing will take place at the Minton Chapel in Fritch The family will have a private burial at a later date Apply Now Schedule Sign Me Up Duane Compton, whose second term as dean of Geisel School of Medicine ends on June 30, 2025, will return to research and teaching upon completion of his term, President Sian Leah Beilock has announced A search will begin this fall for the next Geisel dean with the goal of having the new leader in place by July 1 “I’m profoundly grateful for Duane’s partnership and counsel,” President Beilock says “His leadership helped revitalize Geisel’s commitment to academic excellence and set it on a trajectory for continued success.” Compton, an internationally known cell and cancer biologist who has been a member of the Geisel faculty since 1993, was appointed dean of Geisel in 2017 after a nearly three-year stint as interim dean. He was reappointed to a second four-year term in 2021 Compton has led a number of initiatives that enhanced Geisel’s research and academic efforts and strengthened its financial foundation including a reorganization that refocused Geisel’s academic research enterprise recruited numerous institutional leaders at Geisel and Dartmouth Health and elevated the school’s commitment to diversity and inclusivity He led the design and implementation of a new MD curriculum structure designed and launched multiple new academic departments and implemented a comprehensive faculty recruitment strategy. he oversaw a strategic planning process that is continuing to increase Geisel’s research and innovation improve integration across the institution and with Dartmouth Health and other clinical partners and enhance and expand educational offerings. “Duane has been an invaluable partner and friend,” says Dartmouth Health CEO and President Joanne Conroy ’77 “His commitment to educating the next generation of physicians will leave a positive mark on Dartmouth Health and our greater community.” He also oversaw the review processes that led to full re-accreditation of the MD and MPH curricula. “I want to thank Duane for the tremendous success he has had during his tenure,” says Provost David Kotz ’86 “Geisel is stronger than ever because of his leadership and Duane will leave his successor on firm footing to continue this work.” “It was an honor to be appointed dean of Geisel and it has been my privilege to serve this outstanding community of faculty and staff who believe so deeply in the power and potential of science and education,” Compton says The Office of Communications can be reached at office.of.communications@dartmouth.edu The framers were acutely aware of competing interests and they had great distrust of concentrated authority We inspire students to practice good global citizenship while strengthening their own communities Act Now Metrics details Light–matter interactions driven by ultrahigh-intensity lasers have great potential to uncover the physics associated with quantum electrodynamics (QED) processes occurring in neutron stars and black holes The Compton scattering between an ultra-relativistic electron beam and an intense laser can reveal a new interaction regime Here we present an experimental demonstration of nonlinear Compton scattering in a strong laser field in which a laser-accelerated multi-gigaelectronvolt electron scatters off hundreds of laser photons and converts them into a single gamma-ray photon with several-hundred-megaelectronvolt energy Along with particle-in-cell (PIC)-QED simulations and analytical calculations our experimental measurement of gamma-ray spectra verifies the occurrence of Compton scattering in the strongly nonlinear regime paving the road to examine nonlinear Breit–Wheeler pair production and QED cascades Prices may be subject to local taxes which are calculated during
