This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will advance fundamental understanding of atomic and nuclear physics through high-precision spectroscopy of light atoms. The $242,389 award, effective September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2028, supports two primary objectives: 1) investigating the nuclear structure of stable oxygen isotopes to provide baseline data for upcoming experiments on radioactive oxygen isotopes, and 2) continuing work testing quantum electrodynamics (QED) through precision measurements of transition frequencies and absolute energies of light atoms like beryllium, boron, nitrogen, and oxygen. This research program, conducted by the Trustees of Smith College, aims to deepen scientific knowledge in atomic and nuclear physics while also training highly motivated undergraduate students in experimental techniques.
