Dr. Michael Cherry spent seven summers at the Homestake Mine
working with Ray Davis on his neutrino experiment. But that wasn’t the
only experiment on the 4850 Level. In 1985, Dr. Cherry used the most
sensitive and largest detector in the world to study very energetic cosmic
rays, photon decay and other mysterious particles in the universe.
In his talk, Dr. Cherry will discuss experiments and experiences on the
4850 Level.
