Experimental Tests of the Standard Model for Particles and Nuclei
- Valparaiso Univ., IN (United States)
This report summarizes the research carried out by the faculty, staff and students of Valparaiso University (VU) during the 30-year period from 1986 to 2015 using funds provided by the Medium Energy Nuclear Physics program of the Department of Energy (DOE). Three faculty members led the VU research group during the lifetime of the research grant. The three principal investigators responsible for the research were: Dr. Donald Koetke (1986 – 2007), Dr. Robert Manweiler (2008 – 2010), and Dr. Shirvel Stanislaus (2011 – 2015). During this period we participated and contributed to the progress of the following experiments: 1. The MEGA Experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LAMPF E969). 2. The Crystal Ball Experiment at Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL/AGS E906, E913). 3. The NuSea Experiment at Fermilab (FNAL E866). 4. The TWIST Experiment at TRIUMF (TRIUMF E614). 5. The STAR Experiment at RHIC. 6. The nEDM Experiment at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. In the following sections we briefly describe the goals of the above experiments and the contributions made by the Valparaiso University personnel towards the progress of each project.
