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

该奖项将支持精确调查 基本相互作用的对称性 表现在原子核和原子中。 详细的相关性将 由极化中子的衰变产物制成， 宇称守恒电弱时反非不变性 交互. 这项工作还将提供一种改进的测量方法 的轴向矢量耦合常数和测试的关系 半衰期和β-不对称性之间的关系 标准模型 首席研究员是个很有前途的年轻人 科学家 他发明了许多技术， 这些极其精确的实验是可能的。

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.
