This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $245,732 to East Tennessee State University (ETSU) for a 3-year period from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2028. The award supports experimental research focused on high-precision measurements of neutron properties to advance the understanding of the weak nuclear force, one of the four fundamental forces of nature. The research team at ETSU, led by the Principal Investigator, will contribute to three major experiments at the Los Alamos Ultracold Neutron Source that explore the neutron lifetime, beta asymmetry, and electric dipole moment. The primary goal is to deepen the understanding of the Standard Model of particle physics and search for new phenomena. The project will also provide hands-on training in hardware and software development for undergraduate students, preparing them for future STEM careers.
