Project Grant 1206033

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences awarded a $126,509 Project Grant to the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, doing business as the University of Nebraska, to expand the currently operating Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G). Through this 2-year award, the University of Nebraska will continue building the RNO-G array beyond the initial 7 stations, improve drill reliability and efficiency to rapidly install new...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a two-year, $250,715 Project Grant to the University of Chicago under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports the expansion of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos, which can provide unique insights into the most powerful cosmic ray accelerators and explosive events in the universe. Specifically, the funding will be used to improve drill...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under CFDA Program 47.049, provides $181,285 to the University of Kansas Center for Research Inc. to expand the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G). The funding will be used to continue building the RNO-G array beyond the seven stations currently installed and operating. Key activities include improving drill reliability and efficiency to rapidly install more stations,...

This $635,033 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics supports research at the University of Texas at Austin to search for neutrinoless double beta decay using the LEGEND experiment. The researchers will employ high-purity germanium detectors and an ultra-low background setup to detect this rare nuclear transition, which could shed light on neutrino properties and the early evolution of the universe. Additionally, the team will collaborate on developing...

This $457,452 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences will support the expansion of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos. The project, led by the University of Wisconsin - Madison, will improve drill reliability and efficiency to install additional monitoring stations in the Greenland ice, construct and install new instrumentation, study radio wave...

This $190,077 Project Grant was awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant will support expanding the currently operating Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos. Specifically, the two-year program will continue building the RNO-G array beyond the seven stations currently installed and operating in...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award for $101,576, effective September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2025, supports the expansion and operations of the Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos. The project, funded under NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, will improve drill reliability and efficiency to install additional stations in the Greenland ice, construct and commission new...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded a $480,000 Project Grant to the Trustees of Boston University to support research on the fundamental nature of neutrinos. Through this grant under the NSF Division of Physics' Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), the university will implement major enhancements to the world-leading KamLAND-Zen neutrino detection experiment to search for evidence of neutrinos being their own antiparticles, a hypothetical property known as...

This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $888,534 awarded on August 15, 2022 will support Northwestern University's delivery of products and services for the Ricochet Experiment under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The University will design, build, install, operate and analyze data from nine zinc detectors as part of the Q-Array instrument to measure the coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering spectrum with unprecedented precision. In addition,...

This $148,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), will support the expansion of the currently operating Radio Neutrino Observatory in Greenland (RNO-G) to enable observations of ultra-high-energy neutrinos. The project aims to further advance the understanding of the most powerful cosmic ray accelerators and explosive events in the universe through...
