This $169,673 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports research towards the upcoming P2 experiment at the MESA accelerator facility in Germany. The key focus areas are:
-
Ensuring the achievement of parity quality electron beam for the P2 experiment to meet stringent systematic uncertainty goals, through efforts such as polarized source development, beam studies, and beam asymmetry management.
-
Designing a novel atomic hydrogen polarimeter detector package for precisely measuring the beam polarization, which will be a significant technical advancement for high-precision parity experiments.
The award also aims to train graduate students and postdocs to become experts in polarized beam control and measurement, supporting the development of future scientific talent. The project period runs from November 2024 through October 2029, with Indiana University serving as the prime awardee. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
