Colorado State University's Sponsored Programs division received a $592,969 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) on July 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for June 30, 2029. The award funds high-precision laser spectroscopy research on atomic hydrogen and deuterium to test quantum electrodynamics and search for evidence of new physical laws. The research employs advanced experimental techniques including cavity-enhanced continuous-wave lasers referenced to optical frequency combs, conducted on cryogenic and velocity-characterized hydrogen/deuterium beams. Primary deliverables include precise measurements of the 1S-2S transition energy difference in hydrogen with target uncertainty approaching one part in a quadrillion, as well as direct quantum state comparisons between hydrogen and deuterium to investigate potential electron-neutron interactions. Beyond experimental results, the project delivers workforce development training in atomic, molecular, and optical physics; laser science; and precision measurement techniques. The research is positioned to provide sensitive validation of existing quantum mechanical theories or potentially reveal indicators of new physical principles governing atomic behavior. Work will be performed at the Place of Performance in Fort Collins, Colorado, leveraging NSF's commitment to advancing fundamental mathematical and physical sciences research.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
