About this award

This federal contract award to the University of California, Berkeley (UC Berkeley) is for research into magnetic reconnection, a universal plasma process that converts magnetic energy into plasma jetting and heating. The $845,475 grant, awarded by a civilian federal agency, funds this research into an important phenomenon observed in laboratory, space, solar, and astrophysical contexts. The contract, which does not have a set-aside designation, demonstrates UC Berkeley's extensive expertise in advanced scientific research across disciplines like space exploration, quantum computing, and materials science. UC Berkeley has collaborated with prime contractors on complex research and development efforts for various federal agencies, including the Department of Defense's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). The parent organization, the State of California Controllers Office, also has a history of securing federal contracts and grants for public health, scientific research, and technological innovation initiatives.

Description

Magnetic reconnection in current sheets is a universal plasma process that converts magnetic energy into plasma jetting and heating, and is important in many laboratory, space, solar, and astrophysical contexts.
