This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $185,463 to Luther College to conduct research on the spectroscopy of heavy quarkonium, which is an important area for understanding quantum chromodynamics. The central aim is to study the spectroscopy of bottomonium and bottomonium-like mesons, particularly states that probe the limits of our understanding of quantum chromodynamics. This research leverages the...

The funding supports 3 main efforts: Searches for new physics beyond the Standard Model, including probing for baryon number violating decays of the top quark and indirect detection of dark matter particles using the CMS detector at the Large Hadron Collider....
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $565,000 Project Grant to the Catholic University of America (CUA) to conduct research advancing the understanding of the quark-gluon structure of the fundamental building blocks of the atomic nucleus - protons, neutrons, pions, and kaons. The award, funded through NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), has two primary goals: 1) to deepen the Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) understanding of pions and kaons, and 2) to provide...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) Project Grant award of $193,628 to Lebanon Valley College is focused on advancing the understanding of hadronic structure through spin observables. The key products to be delivered include: Performing Bayesian Monte Carlo global analyses of data from various particle physics experiments to probe the 3-dimensional motion of partons (quarks and gluons) inside hadrons and how the proton's...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $240,000 Project Grant to Lebanon Valley College under the agency's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to study theoretical problems in physics and mathematics related to quantum advantage. The 3-year grant supports implementation of a resource theory framework to analyze invertible free operations, including local unitary transformations, permutations of subsystems, and matchgates, in order to probe multiparticle quantum...
This is a $200,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The award provides funding to a research group led by Professor Osherson at the University of Notre Dame to conduct experimental particle physics research at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. The key objectives are to develop new tools and algorithms to search for very light new particles that may have evaded previous searches, and to...
This $145,862 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Physics will fund research activities led by Professor Kieran Holland at the University of the Pacific. The research aims to develop improved lattice actions for quantum chromodynamics (QCD) simulations using machine learning algorithms. Specifically, Professor Holland will work on parametrizing an improved lattice action for pure SU(3) Yang-Mills theory, which can serve as a testbed and have potential...
This $500,000 federal Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), supports the participation of U.S. scientists in the LHCB experiment at CERN. The grant funds facility operations, maintenance, and computing support to enable research that explores "beyond the Standard Model physics" and aims to identify new phenomena that could reveal the existence of new particles or forces. The award...
