Local Winchester student earns first BeamNetUS grant

CLAREMONT – Harvey Mudd College senior Emily Kendrick of Winchester was part of an award-winning student team that designed and optimized a sensor to measure the transverse profile of NorthStar Medical Radioisotopes' electron beam, helping improve power delivery and product quality. With additional funding from the first BeamNetUS grant, the students tested their sensor at SLAC's NLCTA accelerator, gaining rare undergraduate access to high-energy beam facilities and validating their design under more demanding conditions. Their successful May 2025 tests led to a submitted manuscript describing a student-built SEM grid with broad diagnostic applications for industrial and medical MeV-range electron beams.Harvey Mudd College is a liberal arts college specializing in science, technology
