The proposed research program continues exciting new activities we have developed during the last year of our previous grant period. The activities are of an experimental nature and consist of precision measurements of the intrinsic properties of the neutron, such as the search for its electric dipole moment (EDM), the correlation coefficients from the neutron -decay spectrum and the determination of the strength of the hadronic weak interaction. These measurements are part of a program in fundamental neutron science at the newly completed Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The proposed activities will produce new scientists at the Ph.D. level, will train young scientists at the postdoctoral level, will give research experience in fundamental physics to undergraduate students, and will contribute to the ascent of a large state university as a premier research institution. The advancement of the careers of women and ethnic minorities is an integral part of this process. Furthermore, the demand for state-of-the-art equipment utilizes the ASU's technical workforce and that of the society at large.

拟议的研究计划继续令人兴奋的新活动，我们已经在我们以前的赠款期的最后一年开发。这些活动属于实验性质，包括对中子固有特性的精确测量，如寻找其电偶极矩、从中子衰变谱中得出相关系数以及确定强子弱相互作用的强度。 这些测量是橡树岭国家实验室新近完成的Sputterus中子源（SNS）的基础中子科学计划的一部分。拟议的活动将产生新的科学家在博士学位。该项目将培养博士后一级的年轻科学家，将为本科生提供基础物理学的研究经验，并将有助于一所大型州立大学成为一流的研究机构。提高妇女和少数民族的职业地位是这一进程的一个组成部分。此外，对最先进设备的需求利用了ASU的技术劳动力和整个社会的技术劳动力。
