Polarized Electron Physics        


We are interested in polarized electron and neutrino physics. Our work involves studies of polarized electron scattering from atoms and molecules, the understanding of chiral and dichroic effects in such targets, the development of novel sources of polarized electrons and electron polarimeters, and investigations of the fundamental nature of the electron. Our group is also part of a four-university collaboration, based at the University of Texas, to make direct measurements on the mass of the electron antineutrino. We are funded both by the Low-Energy Nuclear Physics and Experimental Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics programs in the Physics Division of the National Science Foundation.
