Tom-Erik Haugen (Fed)
Dr. Tom-Erik Haugen is a physicist in the Neutron Physics Group at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. His research focuses on low energy searches for beyond Standard Model physics, primarily new sources for time-reversal violation. He is involved in the development of cryogenic Thermal Kinetic Inductance Detectors (TKIDs) to measure charged particles resulting from neutron beta decay, and in the design of future experiments utilizing these detectors. He is also a member of the PROSPECT experiment which has measured the antineutrino energy spectrum from a reactor. His involvement in the projects includes detector development, detailed Monte Carlo simulation, design of novel experiments, and calculation of radiative corrections and final state interactions.
He received his PhD. In Physics from Michigan State University in 2024, developing an experiment for searching for charge-parity violation in ortho-positronium decay, as well as contributing to experiments searching for new physics in nuclear beta decay. He is currently a National Research Council (NRC) Postdoctoral Fellow.
