![]() A precise measurement will constrain theories extending the current standard model of particle physics. Faculty and researchers are participating in the nEDM experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory which will measure the neutron’s electric dipole moment, a property that allows neutrons to interact with electric fields despite their neutrality. ![]() The nuclear physics group at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign is looking for evidence of new physics in neutrons, electrically neutral particles that hold atomic nuclei together with an interaction called the strong force. The unique quantum properties of nitrogen-vacancy diamond make it a promising candidate for quantum sensing and quantum memory. The researchers aim to construct sensors for the nEDM experiment and explore their potential applications in quantum information science. The University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign’s nuclear physics group is participating in the nEDM experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, aiming to measure the neutron’s electric dipole moment to constrain theories in particle physics.

The internal grid lines represent the path of laser light within the diamond-the incoming beam (thicker red line) is repeatedly reflected within the diamond sensor until it encounters the cut corner where it emerges (the thinner red line). ![]() Artist’s rendering illustrates the nitrogen-vacancy diamond sensor the Beck group will develop.
