Horace, I've been around for quite awhile, I'm just usually quiet. Chris Tinsley drug me here kicking and screaming...or was it Terry? Anyway, that was, oh, 15 years ago? :) I missed a few years here and there.
The irony is that I'm actually working in this field now - helping to design requirements for a tripwire-type radiation detector (gamma, and possibly neutron) for all law enforcement officers and first responders - or that's the idea, anyway. So I'm learning nuclear physics kinda backwards. At least the physicists I work with understand I'm a mathemagician, NOT a nuclear physicist. I met Chris - and Sue too, even though I didn't know it at the time - in London in 1997. Chris immediately attempted to embarrass me from the podium he was speaking from. He almost did it, too :) Thanks for the welcome. I'll be lurking and chiming in once in awhile. It'll be nice to actually contribute something here someday!
