Research Paper
Students working on the simulators available in the Digital Demo Room participate in the "Research Experience for Undergraduates", or REU, program in the Physics Department of the University of Illinois. The students give presentations on their projects and also write a scientific paper. Here is the paper for the Stellar Structure and Evolution simulator, created by Jake Simon and Charles Hansen during the 2002 REU program. You may also download the final presentation.
