项目摘要
Neutrinos are amongst the most abundant particles in the Universe, they are keys to many astrophysical processes, and they may hold the key to explaining the matter-antimatter asymmetry of the Universe. They are known to occur in nature in three types, or "flavors." It has also been observed that neutrinos could switch flavors through a process known as neutrino oscillation. From such oscillation experiments, it is found that neutrinos must have a non-zero mass. This is the first known indication that there is physics beyond the very successful Standard Model of Particle Physics. Neutrino mass remains one of the most important open questions in physics and experiments are searching for ways to determine it since with their abundance they could play an important role in the evolution of our Universe. Direct laboratory determinations based on the precise measurement of the beta spectrum have been expanding over the past 80 years due to increasingly powerful electron spectrometry techniques. In 2009, the PI proposed a new technique by which the energy spectrum of low energy electrons can be extracted. The technique, known as Cyclotron Radiation Emission Spectroscopy (CRES), relies on the detection and measurement of coherent radiation created from the cyclotron motion of electrons in a magnetic field. Knowledge of neutrino masses has broad implications for the scientific community, particularly in the fields of nuclear physics, particle physics, and cosmology. The CRES technique, being a general spectroscopic technique for low energy electrons, has broad applicability. The use of metallic superconducting bolometers for recoil detection also has broad reach, with potential applications in nuclear reactor monitoring and direct dark matter detection. Research engagement with undergraduate students is facilitated by MIT's Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP), which connects students and faculty and allows students to engage in basic research throughout the academic year.In 2009, the PI proposed a new technique by which the energy spectrum of low energy electrons can be extracted. The CRES technique relies on the detection and measurement of coherent radiation created from the cyclotron motion of electrons in a magnetic field. Such a frequency-based technique has the capability of overcoming many of the limitations imposed by traditional spectroscopic techniques used in direct neutrino mass experiments using tritium. The Project 8 experiment, of which the PI is the spokesperson, has now successfully demonstrated how the CRES technique is effective in precisely measuring the kinetic energy of electrons emitted from a radioactive gas. With the proof of principle firmly established, this award provides continued support of the next stage of Project 8's R&D program, moving toward a neutrino mass measurement from tritium beta decay. In particular, the next phase is to make a first measurement of a tritium beta spectrum in order to determine the scalability of the technique. Research will also continue to determine the technique's ultimate capability: to probe the inverted neutrino mass scale.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
中微子是宇宙中最丰富的粒子之一,它们是许多天体物理过程的关键,它们可能是解释宇宙物质-反物质不对称性的关键。已知它们在自然界中有三种类型,或称“风味”。“人们还观察到,中微子可以通过一个被称为中微子振荡的过程来切换口味。从这样的振荡实验中,我们发现中微子必须具有非零质量。这是第一个已知的迹象表明,有物理超越了非常成功的粒子物理标准模型。中微子质量仍然是物理学中最重要的未决问题之一,实验正在寻找确定它的方法,因为它们的丰度可能在我们宇宙的演化中发挥重要作用。在过去的80年里,由于电子光谱技术的日益强大,基于β谱的精确测量的直接实验室测定一直在扩大。2009年,PI提出了一种新技术,通过该技术可以提取低能电子的能谱。该技术被称为回旋辐射发射光谱(克雷斯),依赖于检测和测量磁场中电子回旋运动产生的相干辐射。中微子质量的知识对科学界有着广泛的影响,特别是在核物理、粒子物理和宇宙学领域。克雷斯技术是低能电子的通用光谱技术,具有广泛的适用性。使用金属超导测辐射热计进行反冲探测也具有广泛的应用范围,在核反应堆监测和直接暗物质探测中具有潜在的应用。麻省理工学院的本科生研究机会计划(UROP)促进了本科生的研究参与,该计划将学生和教师联系起来,允许学生在整个学年中从事基础研究。2009年,PI提出了一种新技术,通过该技术可以提取低能电子的能谱。 克雷斯技术依赖于检测和测量磁场中电子回旋运动产生的相干辐射。 这种基于频率的技术有能力克服许多限制所施加的传统光谱技术中使用的直接中微子质量实验使用氚。项目8实验,其中PI是发言人,现在已经成功地证明了克雷斯技术是如何有效地精确测量从放射性气体发射的电子的动能。 随着原理证明的牢固确立,该奖项为Project 8研发计划的下一阶段提供了持续的支持,该计划将从氚β衰变中测量中微子质量。 具体而言,下一阶段是对氚β谱进行第一次测量,以确定该技术的可扩展性。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命,并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估,被认为值得支持。
