Research abstract
The DOE is funding an experiment aimed at either measuring or determining an upper limit for the neutron electric dipole moment. This is a collaborative multi-million dollar project involving Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and multiple academic institutions. This project requires a cryogenic (~ 4 K) visible light detector with sufficient internal gain for single photon sensitivity for success. Physical Sciences, Inc. and DRS Sensors and Targeting Systems are teaming to develop a solution based on a solid state Visible Light Photon Counting array, which would provide > 80% quantum efficiency
