REU student Jeromy Tompkins (right), of Gordon College, stands with Werner Tornow (left) in the TUNL Shielded Source Area.  During June 2006, equipment was put in place for n-d analyzing power measurements at En = 21.5 MeV and a ten-day run was conducted in June 2006.  In August, the same setup was used for measurements at En = 22.5 MeV.
