W. M. Snow studies the fundamental physics of neutrons and atomic nuclei, using precisely controlled beams of neutrons to test the basic laws that govern matter. Much of the work involves measuring tiny effects—such as differences in how neutrons interact depending on their spin—to probe symmetries of nature and search for new particles like dark matter candidates. The research combines nuclear and particle physics with specialized experimental techniques such as neutron polarization and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR).
