Presidential Young Investigator Award: Fundamental Interactions and Symmetries in Atoms and Nuclei (Physics)

该奖项将支持对基本相互作用对称性的精确研究，因为它们体现在原子核和原子中。将对极化中子的衰变产物进行详细的关联，以测试守恒宇称的电弱相互作用中的时间反转不变性。这项工作还将改进轴向矢量耦合常数的测量，并测试标准模型预测的半衰期和β不对称性之间的关系。首席研究员是一位很有前途的年轻科学家。他开发了许多技术，使这些极其精确的实验成为可能。

This award will support precise investigations into the symmetry properties of fundamental interactions, as they are manifested in nuclei and atoms. Detailed correlations will be made of the decay products of polarized neutrons, to test for time-reversal non-invariance in parity conserving electro-weak interactions. The work will also provide an improved measurement of the axial vector coupling constant and test the relationship between the half-life and the beta-asymmetry predicted by the standard model. The principal investigator is a very promising young scientist. He has developed many of the techniques that make these extremely precise experiments possible.
