This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $229,999 to Tennessee Technological University from July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2026. The project aims to enhance the sensitivity of two key experiments leveraging ultracold neutrons to test fundamental symmetries and probe the Standard Model of particle physics. The key research activities include: 1) Incorporating empirical magnetic field data and computational modeling to improve characterization of systematic effects related to neutron spin dynamics; 2) Developing a real-time monitor to track neutron depolarization as a cross-check on the computational modeling; and 3) Creating a quantum sensor based on nitrogen-vacancy defects in diamond to aid in controlling and characterizing the magnetic and electric fields for the neutron electric dipole moment experiment. This work is intended to enable these highly sensitive fundamental physics experiments to reach new levels of precision.
