Professor Robert Golub holds a faculty position in the Department of Physics at North Carolina State University (NC State), part of the College of Sciences. He specializes in fundamental symmetries and beyond Standard Model physics, focusing on precision neutron experiments. His work addresses questions about particle physics, dark matter, and symmetry violations in the weak interaction.
Education: Graduated from Bronx High School of Science, earned BScEE (City College, 1959), MScEE (MIT, 1961), and PhD in Physics (MIT, 1968). His thesis involved ammonia molecule deceleration under NSF and industry fellowships.
Research Contributions: Invented superthermal sources for ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) and pioneered neutron resonance spin echo (NRSE) instruments. Key roles at institutions like University of Sussex (neutron EDM searches), Technical University Munich (superfluid helium studies), and Max Planck Institute (dark matter/solar neutrinos). Collaborated on UCN programs at Institut Laue Langevin (ILL) and Hahn-Meitner Institute (HMI).
Experimental Innovations: Designed cryogenic apparatus for neutron EDM measurements, developed magnetic trapping systems, and advanced superfluid helium-based neutron scattering methods. Instrumentation contributions include NRSE spectrometers and UCN production techniques.
Labs/Teams: Active in international collaborations like LANL and TRIUMF. Leading efforts in PULSTAR reactor UCN source development and nEDM experiments. Instrumentation projects include He-3 polarization systems and systematic studies apparatus for precision EDM searches.
