The National Science Foundation awarded $159,156 under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to the University of New Hampshire from February 2022 to January 2024. The project grant will support measurement of charge exchange x-ray spectra using the National Institute of Standards and Technology's electron beam ion trap and transition edge sensor microcalorimeter array. The principal investigator and a graduate student will carry out experiments to test models of energy-level resolved charge exchange cross sections of highly ionized neon with neutral gases. These benchmarks will improve the fidelity of models and ability to interpret astrophysical x-ray data. The award will also train the principal investigator and graduate student in techniques relevant to quantum sensing, computing and low-temperature physics to support fields of national importance. Expertise gained will enable future x-ray measurements and student training at the University of New Hampshire.
