- This is a bridge funding proposal for the continuation of the first phase of the Suborbital Astrophysics Program, HELIX (High-Energy Light Isotope Experiment), a magnet spectrometer payload designed to make measurements of the isotopic composition of cosmic rays. The $2,793,443.81 contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a renowned private research university, to support this research project. The contract does not have a...
- This federal contract award is for the HELIX: The High Energy Light Isotope Experiment, a co-investigator proposal led by the University of Chicago. The $855,126 grant was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) to conduct research on the isotopic composition of high-energy cosmic ray nuclei. The goal is to extend previous measurements from the ACE/CRIS mission to higher energies in order to better understand the...
- This is a grant award to the Regents of the University of Michigan, valued at $1,060,930.00, for the High Energy Light Isotope Experiment (HELIX) research program. HELIX is designed to measure the isotopic composition of light cosmic ray nuclei at energies ranging from 200 MeV/nucleon to 10 GeV/nucleon, which will provide essential information for understanding the propagation history of cosmic rays in the galaxy. The award is for a new suborbital program with the University of Chicago as the...
- This is a grant awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Trustees of Indiana University, doing business as Indiana University, to support the High-Energy Light Isotope Experiment (HELIX) suborbital program. HELIX is designed to measure the isotopic composition of light cosmic ray nuclei at energies ranging from approximately 200 million electron volts per nucleon (MeV/nuc) to 10 billion electron volts per nucleon (GeV/nuc). This data will provide important...
- This is a $228,855.95 grant award from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the Northern Kentucky University Research Foundation, a non-profit organization, for the HELIX (High Energy Light Isotope Experiment) project. HELIX will utilize a high-precision magnet spectrometer to provide measurements of cosmic-ray particles that are not achievable by any current or proposed instrument. The project will combine a superconducting magnet with state-of-the-art detectors to...
- The Ohio State University was awarded a $594,013 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to contribute to the High Energy Light Isotope Experiment (HELIX), a balloon-borne magnetic spectrometer designed to measure the isotopic composition of cosmic ray nuclei. The University will enhance the mass resolution of the HELIX instrument by improving the rigidity resolution and increasing the number of sensors, as well as develop an in-flight helium transfer process. This...
- This is a $1,400,000.00 grant contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago, a private non-profit educational institution and leading research university. The contract is for research to study nucleosynthetic isotopic anomalies and chronology in cometary, interstellar, and asteroidal dust, as well as elemental abundances in solar wind. Measurements will be conducted using the Chicago Instrument for Laser Ionization (CHILI), a...
- This federal contract award, valued at $749,931.32, was granted by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Chicago to conduct research on kinetic isotopic fractionation of solar system materials. The research aims to provide laboratory calibration experiments under controlled conditions to quantify isotopic and chemical fractionation effects observed in early solar system materials, such as calcium-aluminum-rich inclusions (CAIs) and olivine crystals from...
- This federal contract award to the University of Chicago, worth $750,000.00, is funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) through its Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) program. The purpose of the contract is to develop oxychalcogenide high-temperature superconducting (HTS) membranes for use in NASA's Artemis in-situ-resource-utilization (ISRU) development in the permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) near the lunar south pole, as well as for providing power to distributed...
- The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has awarded a $499,624 grant to the University of Chicago to support high energy neutrino astrophysics research. The grant will be used to develop an interferometric phased array trigger system for balloon-borne and ground-based experiments to detect ultra-high energy cosmogenic neutrinos and cosmic rays. This research aims to explore the structure and evolution of the universe, as well as the physics inside astrophysical sources that...
