Nitrogen Auger spectrum of nitrous oxide with 48 electron energy intervals, The Journal of Chemical Physics, 93, 9200 (1990).

Professor Hanson's research centered on molecular dynamics induced by the excitation of inner shell electrons using synchroton radiation. ProfessorHanson also pioneered the appliaction of active learning methods to the teaching of introductory college chemistry courses at Stony Brook and across the country.
