Jeff MartinView profile
Professor
Dr. Jeff Martin is a Professor and Canada Research Chair (Tier 1) in Fundamental Symmetries in Subatomic Physics at the University of Winnipeg's Department of Physics. He leads major experiments in neutron physics at TRIUMF (Canada's national laboratory for particle and nuclear physics) and collaborations with institutions in Canada, Japan, and the U.S. His research focuses on parity-violating asymmetries, neutron electric dipole moment (EDM) searches, and ultracold neutron (UCN) physics. He is a key contributor to the TUCAN and Qweak experiments, exploring CP violation and weak interaction effects. Research Interests: Martin's work centers on fundamental symmetries in subatomic physics, including: Neutron EDM measurements to probe physics beyond the Standard Model Parity-violating electron scattering to study nucleon structure Ultra-cold neutron sources and detector technologies Cold neutron experiments at Oak Ridge National Lab and Jefferson Lab Key Projects: Leading the Canadian effort in the TUCAN EDM experiment at TRIUMF, analyzing data from the Qweak experiment measuring the proton's weak charge, and advancing UCN production techniques. His work contributes to understanding CP violation and the matter-antimatter imbalance in the universe. Publications: Over 90 refereed articles in journals like Physical Review C/D , European Physical Journal , and Nuclear Instruments and Methods . Active in international workshops on neutron physics and fundamental symmetries. Grants & Collaborations: Major funding from NSERC and the Canada Research Chairs program. Collaborates with TRIUMF, Jefferson Lab, and institutions globally. Supervises graduate students in experimental particle/nuclear physics. Labs/Teams: Principal investigator for the TUCAN collaboration and key member of the UCNA and Qweak teams. Develops advanced neutron detection systems and magnet technologies for precision experiments.
