Research summary
AI-generated

D. J. Salvat conducts experimental nuclear and particle physics, with a focus on precise measurements using ultracold neutrons (very slow-moving neutrons that can be trapped and studied). Key projects include measuring how long a free neutron lives before decaying, searching for possible exotic neutron decays, and detecting neutrinos through coherent scattering off atomic nuclei. This work also involves developing specialized detectors and imaging techniques.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
