SUMMARY:Probing Early Universe Particle Physics with Neutrons at the I
 nstitut Laue-Langevin\, Physics Department Colloquium\, Peter Geltenbo
 rt\, ILL Grenoble
DESCRIPTION:Low energy experiments at the "precision frontier" provide
  a powerful probe of early universe. A brief introduction to the Insti
 tute Laue-Langevin (ILL) in Grenoble\, France\, which is a world leade
 r in academic research with neutrons will be given. The scope of funda
 mental physics studies with neutrons is outlined. The main instruments
  provided for such studies are described and some past and current fla
 gship experiments with ultra-cold neutrons (UCN) in this field (lifeti
 me\, electric dipole moment\, quantum states) are highlighted. A brief
  outlook on future projects is given.        About the speaker  Peter 
 W.H. Geltenbort received a Ph D from the University of Tuebingen\, Ger
 many\, in 1983. He joined the Nuclear and Particle Physics (NPP) Colle
 ge at the ILL in 1983 responsible for a fission fragment spectrometer.
  From 1989 to 1993 he held the position of Head of the Detector Group.
  In 1993 he reintegrated into the NPP College responsible for the Ultr
 a-Cold Neutron/Very Cold Neutron facilities at the ILL. His current re
 search interests are the fundamental properties of the neutron.
