The University of Cincinnati will receive $600,000 from the National Science Foundation under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct experimental flavor physics research from August 2022 through July 2025. As a member of the LHCb collaboration at CERN, the University will help improve the novel all-software trigger recently installed at the Large Hadron Collider and focus on GPU-based software trigger and charm quark physics. The research aims to...
This $299,936 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) will support the development of an innovative approach to efficiently quantify the uncertainties associated with particle physics simulation models. The project, led by the University of Cincinnati, aims to incorporate this new uncertainty framework into the widely-used PYTHIA event generator software. This will enable the particle...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a research program at the University of Cincinnati focused on probing the Standard Model of particle physics using the LHCb detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The $130,000 award will fund the University of Cincinnati's efforts to make the first measurements of the helicity of W bosons and the production of W boson pairs in the forward region at the...
This three-year, $525,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports research at the Large Hadron Collider to address open questions in particle physics beyond the Standard Model. Specifically, the University of Cincinnati will utilize the LHCb detector to study rare decays of heavy quark systems and search for low mass electron and muon pairs where new physics may manifest. The upgraded LHCb detector enables unprecedented data that could reveal dark photons or other new light particles,...
The National Science Foundation awarded $600,000 under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences federal grant program (CFDA 47.049) to Carnegie Mellon University from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The award will support research using large-scale computing resources to study multi-hadron interactions through lattice quantum chromodynamics simulations with the stochastic laph method. Key products include computations of nucleon-pion, nucleon-nucleon, and nucleon-hyperon scattering phase shifts...
