  • DAEδALUS is an experiment being developed by Professor Janet Conrad to search for CP violation in the neutrino sector using a single detector and multiple accelerator-based neutrino sources at various distances. Bates accelerator physicists and engineers have contributed to evaluation of the appropriate accelerator technology for the experiment, at approximately 0.2 man-year of effort for…

  • Project 8 is a new experiment led by Professor Formaggio, employing a novel technique to measure neutrino masses. The mass of electrons from tritium beta decay would be measured by detecting the frequency of the cyclotron radiation as the electrons pass through a high magnetic field. A conceptual sketch of the experiment is shown in…
