January 26, 2023 -- "ExoHad" research project, led by Dr. Adam Szczepaniak, is awarded $1.8 million from the DOE.
January 20, 2023 -- Dr. W. Michael Snow and graduate student, Jerald Balta, awarded Translational Research grant for their flexible neutron shielding material technology.
January 1, 2021 -- CEEM graduate student Douglas Wong (advisor Dr. Chen-Yu Liu) has been awarded a 2021 DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) award. This award will support his dissertation research on the measurement of the neutron electric dipole moment. Doug will be putting together the magnetically shielded room and commission the neutron apparatus at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
June 5, 2014 - Tianhao Wang won one of four Student Poster Prizes awarded at the 2014 American Conference on Neutron Scattering, held in Knoxville, TN, June 1-5, 2014. Tianhao's poster was entitled "Novel Non-Adiabatic Spin Flipper and Spherical Neutron Polarimeter Using High Tc YBCO Films". Tianhuo is a graduate student working under the direction of Roger Pynn at the Low Energy Neutron Source at CEEM, where some of the relevant data was taken.
December 18, 2013 - Dr. W. Michael Snow has been elected Fellow of the American Physical Society. He was nominated by the Topical Group Precision Measurement & Fundamental Constants "For his contributions to the understanding of fundamental nuclear and particle interactions through innovative studies employing very low energy neutrons and the development of measurement techniques in neutron science." The new Fellows will be formally honored at the 2014 April APS meeting in Savannah, GA.
September 25, 2013 - CEEM physics team will receive $5.4 million for subatomic particle research
April 17, 2012 - Dr. Paul Sokol elected to Board of Directors of Oak Ridge Associated Universities
December 15, 2011 - Dr. Adam Szczepaniak has been named 2011 Fellow of the American Physical Society "for the development of perturbative and nonperturbative methods in Quantum Chromodynamics in the lightcone and equal time formalisms and for their application to properties of exotic mesons.” Fellowship is a distinct honor signifying recognition by one's professional peers and normally restricted to 1% of the membership of the American Physical Society in any given year. Dr. Szczepaniak was nominated by the Topical Group on Few-Body Systems
April 26, 2010 - LENS awarded $5 million grant for collaborative research at NIST's National Center for Neutron Research
