You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.95.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:49, 2 November 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Bartol Research Institute''' (formerly the ''Bartol Research Foundation'') is a scientific research institution at the Department of Physics and Astronomy of the [[University of Delaware]]. Its members belong to the faculty of the University of Delaware and perform research in areas such as [[astroparticle physics]], [[astrophysics]], [[cosmology]], [[particle physics]], and [[space science]].

==Research==
Having a strong research mission, the Bartol Research Institute has counted several renowned physicists among its members, mostly focusing on fundamental science. Starting with its first director, W.F.G. Swann, [[cosmic ray]]s were and still are one of the main research topics.<ref>"[https://doi.org/10.1016/S0016-0032(40)90870-5 Journal of the Franklin Institute, Volume 229, Issue 3, March 1940, Pages 281-335]."</ref><ref>"[https://www.swarthmore.edu/a-brief-history/1927-bartol-research-foundation 1927 Bartol Research Foundation]." Retrieved June 05, 2020.</ref> 
With its second director, Martin A. Pomerantz, an Antarctic research program was developed along these lines and is maintained until today: Bartol scientists contribute to several Antarctic cosmic-ray projects, including ballon-borne cosmic-ray detectors such as [[Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna|ANITA]], and ground-based experiments such as [[neutron monitor]]s<ref>"[https://nwtresearch.com/research-projects/space/neutron-monitoring Neutron Monitoring]." Retrieved June 15, 2020.</ref> and the [[IceCube|IceCube Neutrino Observatory]].

Furthermore, nuclear physics and high-energy physics belonged to the research portfolio since early on. Today research is done in particular in theoretical particle physics and theoretical as well as experimental particle astrophysics. 
Consequently, the Bartol Research Institute is a member of several major international collaborations that run some of the leading experiments in this field, such as [[VERITAS]], the [[Cherenkov Telescope Array]], the [[Pierre Auger Observatory]], and [[IceCube]]. In 2012, [[Qaisar Shafi]] was appointed the Inaugural Bartol Research Institute Professor of Physics.<ref>((cite web |title=Qaisar Shafi |url=https://www.udel.edu/faculty-staff/experts/qaisar-shafi/ |publisher=University of Delaware |accessdate=17 November 2020))</ref>

Space physics, including plasma and solar physics, is another major research area of the Bartol Research Institute. Among its members is [[William H. Matthaeus]], the current director of the NASA Delaware Space Grant Consortium", who has made key contributions to the field including involvement in the [[Parker Solar Probe]].
Delaware's Space Grant Consortium was founded in 1991 under the leadership of [[Norman F. Ness]].<ref>"[https://www.udel.edu/udaily/2016/september/delaware-space-grant-director/ UDAILY - New Space Grant Director]." Retrieved June 10, 2020.</ref> Shortly before Norman Ness became the third Bartol Director, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences for his seminal contributions to measuring planetary and interplanetary magnetic fields.<ref>"[http://www.nasonline.org/member-directory/members/52164.html National Academy of Sciences]." Retrieved June 10, 2020.</ref> In particular, he is the principal investigator of the magnetometer of [[Voyager program|NASA's Voyager program]].<ref>"[https://www1.udel.edu/researchmagazine/issue/vol4_no1/fantastic_voyage.html University of Delaware Research Online Magazine]." Retrieved June 10, 2020.</ref>

Last but not least, the present research portfolio of Bartol also includes various areas of astronomy, in particular, stellar and planetary astrophysics.

Since 1985, the Bartol Research Institute has awarded the ''Shakti P. Duggal Award'' to a young scientist in cosmic-ray physics at each occurrence of the biannual [[International Cosmic Ray Conference]].<ref>Gaisser, Thomas K.

==History==
Founded in 1924 by the endowment of Henry W. Bartol at the [[Franklin Institute]] in Philadelphia, PA, as the Bartol Research Foundation,<ref>((cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=The Philadelphia Inquirer |url=https://philly.newspapers.com/search/#query=Bartol+Research+Foundation&dr_year=1924-1924&offset=2 |page=16 |date=19 Sep 1924 |access-date=17 June 2020))</ref><ref>((cite journal |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=The Centenary Celebration of the Franklin Institute |date=26 Sep 1924 |url=https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.60.1552.288 |journal=Science |volume=60 |issue=1552 |pages=288 |doi=10.1126/science.60.1552.288 |access-date=16 June 2020))</ref> it moved to its own building at the [[Swarthmore College]] in 1927 where it resided for fifty years.
The research was also supported by grants from the federal government of the USA, and the research topics included nuclear physics, cosmic rays, astrophysics, and the physics and chemistry of surfaces.<ref>"[https://books.google.com/books?id=lp43AAAAIAAJ&dq=%22Bartol+Research+Foundation%22+%22grants+from+the+Federal+Government%22&pg=RA8-PA6]." Retrieved June 17, 2020.</ref>
The Bartol Research Foundation was also active in public outreach, e.g., by a contribution to the [[1939 New York World's Fair]].<ref>((cite news |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title=TEST WITH COSMIC RAY MADE FOR WORLD FAIR; Bartol Foundation Shows Tubes That Help Turn On Lights |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1939/04/23/archives/test-with-cosmic-ray-made-for-world-fair-bartol-foundation-shows.html |location=New York Times, Section General News, Education News, Page 52 |date=23 April 1939 |access-date=17 June 2020))</ref>
