This $190,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports fundamental research aimed at resolving the "proton radius puzzle." The primary research objectives are to: Reassess the proton charge radius and discrepancies through simultaneous measurements of elastic electron and muon scattering off the proton, which has never been attempted before. This novel approach holds promise to resolve the long-standing...
This $295,792 Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports research to precisely measure the strength of a weak optical interaction in atomic cesium. The goal is to improve the precision of the electro-weak mixing angle, which could help validate the Standard Model of particle physics or potentially discriminate between various "Beyond Standard Model" physics theories. The key...
