<p>I want to send the whole paper (it is 17 pages) because Yale states on thier website that full papers are generally “more useful” than abstracts. So I interpet it to mean that it is boost to admission chances. For those of you who did research esp. Siemen’s level could you review my research description and tell me if you think it is on par or if you think that a professor would laugh or something. Be honest, here it is:</p>
<p>“The presented research evaluates the relationship between the probability for photons to undergo quantum tunneling and the width of the barrier the particle has to traverse. The purpose was to elucidate the relationship for the development of improved analysis techniques of crystallography for applications to materials engineering. The experimentation resulted in a quantitative relationship expressed as: y=2.02sin(-1.28x-1.44)+1.47.
To obtain the probability for tunneling to occur photons of the frequency of 10 GHz were projected into two prisms that represented the conditions for quantum tunneling and the subsequent voltages prior to tunneling and after tunneling were recorded. From this data the transmission coefficient was calculated according to the WKB approximation. The resulting coefficients violated the probability principle as they were outside of the bounds of 0 to 1 because of the mass less nature of photons.
To correct this error the data was re-expressed and sinusoidal regression was preformed to obtain an equation that modeled the relationship between barrier width and tunneling probability specifically for mass less particles. The resulting equation yielded 58% of feasible transmission coefficients and a 205.13% increase in accuracy over the standard model for predicting probability.
The implications of the research to materials engineering are improved efficacy of crystallography analysis using electromagnetic waves. Because the research reveals the mechanism by which mass less electromagnetic waves enter into regions that typically would be restricted to the waves, crystallography techniques can be improved by allowing for more pervasive entrance of electromagnetic waves into crystalline structure and increased intensity of scattered beams.”</p>
<p>Do you think it would help my app? I did not win Siemen’s or Intel bc I did it my junior year so it was not eligible, so I am not sure of its quality. I did it entirely on my own, so I hope they take that into account when evaluating it.</p>
