Dr. Brian A. Raue 
My research over the last several years has been conducted primarily at the
Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator
Facility (Jefferson Lab). I began my involvement at Jefferson Lab while
I was a post doc at Old Dominion University where I worked on the
Region 2 drift
chambers for the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer
CLAS.
Since coming to FIU, I worked on the Møller Polarimeter for Hall B.
I terms of physics, I am a co-spokesman on three approved experiments. Two
study kaon electroproduction using CLAS and the third is looking for
two-photon effects in electron+proton elastic scattering.
Strangeness-electroproduction program
is part of a larger FIU group effort which includes
Dr. Pete Markowitz's
kaon-electroproduction experiment in
Hall A and
Dr. Joerg Reinhold's experiment
in Hall C.
In addition to the Jefferson Lab experiments,
I have collaborated on the SLAC
spin-structure function experiments
E143,
E154, and
E155.
I have also done experiments at the
Paul Scherrer Institute and the
Indiana University Cyclotron Facility
where I earned my Ph.D.
For those of you who haven't a clue as to what I was just talking about, I am
working on a page that will describe strange-quark electroproduction in
regular-people language--or at least as close as I can come given the topic.

Teaching Stuff
This year I will be teaching "Introductory Quantum Mechanics" (phy 4604 and
4605). Quantum mechanics forms the foundation for all of modern physics and
is where things really start to get interesting. You can access the
homepage for Quantum Mechanics here
where you will find a course description, the homework assignments for
the semester, and links to grades as they become available.
I am also teaching "Understanding the Physical World" (phy1020). This
class is intended for non-science majors and fulfills the
physical sciences requirement of the FIU core curriculum. I have had a
great time teaching it---and the judging by the student reviews, they liked
it as well. You can check out my
homepage for
phy1020 which includes the course description
(syllabus) and the assigned homework and readings.
The Department of Physics offers "Problem Solving in Physics I and II"
(phz2102 & phz2103). These classes are a supplement for students in the
intro courses. You can take a look at the class
syllabus here.
Students in the "Senior Physics Lab" can find the
course outline and
schedule here.
In the past I have taught both semesters of"Physics with Calculus"
(phy2048 and 20499). These are the standard intro physics classes for
physics majors and engineers. You can access the most recent
homepage for 2049
where you will find a course description and the homework assignments
for the semester.
Basically this is my curriculum vita including
my publication list.
OR look at my
Recent
Publications (via the SPIRES-HEP database) (which misses a couple)
This site is always undergoing change.
For Fun
Fashion Review
Fashion review? Yes, I am a published fashion reviewer for Süddeutsche
Zeitung Magazin; one of Germany's largest newspapers. My tongue-in-cheek review
can be accessed here. I should acknowledge that
I got this opportunity through Jörg Reinhold who's sister is an editor for
Süddeutsche Zeitung.
The Physics of Baseball
Here are a few links to some cool sites related to the
physics of Baseball. Obviously, very important stuff!
-
Marlins Homers. This is some work I did for the Florida Marlins in which
I checked their homerun charts.
-
The Batting Cage. This site has some elementary descriptions.
PHYSICS LINKS
These will give you an idea of other things I'm involved with.
