Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

N. J. Buchanan's research program focuses on high-energy physics, specifically the study of neutrinos and cosmic rays using the NOvA detector. Buchanan has published extensively on measurements of neutrino cross-sections, including the double-differential charged-current inclusive cross-section for muon neutrinos and the electron neutrino-nucleus charged-current double-differential cross-section. Their work also includes investigations into the seasonal variation of multiple-muon cosmic ray air showers observed by the NOvA detector and searches for slow magnetic monopoles.

Buchanan's research extends to the computational aspects of high-energy physics, as evidenced by publications on High Performance Computing (HPC) and Data Management for High Energy Physics (HEP), and the development of analysis frameworks like PandAna for scalable computing. Additional work includes research on accelerating cloud database recovery for real-time service after cyberattacks.

With an h-index of 83 and over 29,000 citations across 426 publications, Buchanan is recognized as a highly cited researcher. Key collaborators include Brajendra Panda from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom they share multiple publications. Buchanan maintains an active lab website.
