What is a Medical Physicist? Medical physicists contribute to the effectiveness of radiological imaging procedures by assuring radiation safety and helping to develop improved imaging techniques (e.g., mammography CT, MR, ultrasound). They contribute to development of therapeutic techniques (e.g., prostate implants, stereotactic radiosurgery), collaborate with radiation oncologists to design treatment plans, and monitor equipment and procedures to insure that cancer patients receive the prescribed dose of radiation to the correct location. Medical physicists are responsible for ensuring that imaging and treatment facilities meet the rules and regulations of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and various State Health Departments. What do Medical Physicists Do? Medical physicists are concerned with three areas of activity: clinical service and consultation research and development , and teaching . On the average their time is distributed equally among these three areas. Definition of a Qualified Medical Physicist A Qualified Medical Physicist is an individual who is competent to practice independently one or more of the subfields of medical physics.

Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Physicists explore and identify basic principles governing the structure and behavior of matter, the generation and transfer of energy, and the interaction of matter and energy. Some physicists use these principles in theoretical areas, such as the nature of time and the origin of the universe; others apply their physics knowledge to practical areas, such as the development of advanced materials, electronic and optical devices, and medical equipment. Physicists design and perform experiments with lasers, particle accelerators, telescopes, mass spectrometers, and other equipment. Based on observations and analysis, they attempt to discover and explain laws describing the forces of nature, such as gravity, electromagnetism, and nuclear interactions. Physicists also find ways to apply physical laws and theories to problems in nuclear energy, electronics, optics, materials, communications, aerospace technology, and medical instrumentation.

31. The Sound Of Solitary Waves physicists have demonstrated the first acoustic solitary waves in airwaves that can travel long distances without changing shape. http://focus.aps.org/story/v4/st24

Previous Story Next Story July - December 1999 Archive Phys. Rev. Lett. (issue of 15 November 1999) 10 November 1999 Title and Authors The Sound of Solitary Waves Railway Technical Research Institute , Japan Faster than a speeding bullet? The maglev trains now under development in Japan have topped 550 km/h, and their high speeds may exacerbate the problem of tunnel noise. Research on the problem led to the demonstration of the first sound waves that travel long distances without distortion. Communications engineers want complex light signals to travel through long fiberoptic cables without changing shape, so they have been developing optical solitary waveswaveforms that travel long distances without distortion. But solitary sound waves are thought to be very difficult to produce because the properties of air don't seem to permit them. In the 15 November PRL a Japanese team demonstrates the first production of acoustic solitary waves in air, which they say could lead to the undistorted transmission of heat and other forms of energy, as well as the elimination of troublesome shock waves from train tunnels and air compressors. Any large disturbance in airlike a lightening bolt or even a high-speed train entering a tunnelnormally generates a traveling sound wave that changes shape as it propagates. If it doesn't dissipate first, the pulse eventually forms a shock wavethe thunder clap forms immediately in the case of lightening. Solitary waves in optical fibers maintain their shape because the material exhibits "dispersion," a speed of light that depends on frequency in just the right way. But the speed of sound in air is relatively independent of frequency, so solitary sound waves have been a great challenge.

32. BEHIND THE HOAXERS - PHYSICISTS, SCIENTISTS, STOMPERS AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF Marcus Allen's article about the secret history of crop circle making. http://www.greatdreams.com/faking.htm

BEHIND THE HOAXERS - PHYSICISTS, SCIENTISTS, STOMPERS AND THE SECRET HISTORY OF CIRCLE FAKING by Marcus Allen (from The Sussex Circular #33, September, 1994) An international organisation exists which appears to be solely concerned with debunking and ridiculing the work of others. This organisation is CSICOP - The Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. It was formed in 1976 by Professor Paul Kurtz as a breakaway group from the American Humanist Association. Paul Kurtz, born in 1925, is now retired as a philosophy lecturer at New York University. Politically, he is a Social Democrat, part of the American Non-Communist Left through which the CIA channeled funding from large American foundations such as Ford and Rockefeller, to promote liberalism in Europe during the Cold War. Kurtz was concerned about the revival of Astrology in the US, and circulated a letter to leading scientists and academics collecting 186 signatures, including those of 18 Nobel Prize winners, to a manifesto called "Objections to Astrology", the publication of which brought about the formation of CSICOP. Soon afterwards, Kurtz held a press conference in New York to announce "a campaign to purge the media of occultist leanings" and to ensure "no TV programs dealing with parascience would go out unvetted by the appropriate authorities", i.e. CSICOP. Among it's first members were science fiction writer Isaac Isimov, magician and showman James Randi, and astronomer and writer Professor Carl Sagan.

Home Search SiteMap Contact Us ... Ask an Expert How do physicists study particles? Particles are extremely tiny, and to be able to see and study them, scientists need very special tools They need accelerators , huge machines able to speed up particles to very high energies before smashing them into other particles. Around the points where the "smashing" occurs, scientists build experiments which allow them to observe and study the collisions. These are instruments, sometimes huge, made of several kinds of particle detectors By accelerating and smashing particles, physicists can identify their components or create new particles, revealing the nature of the interactions between them.

Birkeland was a pioneer in studying the magnetic field of the earth and the aurora borealis. He made the suggestion that the aurora were caused by charges emitted by the sun being guided into the earth's atmosphere by the earth's magnetic field. An apparatus of his simulating this effect is shown on the bill at the left. For a brief bio click here . For a great site on the aurora
