This Project Grant award, valued at $270,611, was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The funding supports three separate experimental programs aimed at exploring the fundamental structure of the universe through high-energy particle collision studies at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) and Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). The first two programs will investigate how quarks and gluons produced in...
This $599,292 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports the development of new cyberinfrastructure for real-time anomaly detection in particle physics experiments. The Trustees of Columbia University will leverage advances in artificial intelligence and detector technologies to create computationally efficient tools capable of intelligently detecting rare and unpredictable patterns in experimental data without relying on prior...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $1,218,284 Project Grant to Syracuse University under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to develop high-granularity timing modules for the upgrade of the LHCb calorimeter detector at the CERN LHC in Switzerland and future high-luminosity particle collider applications. The project aims to create sensor and electronics packages that provide precise spatial and timing information to enable advanced particle detection and...
This $550,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports fundamental and applied high energy physics research at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The key objectives are to search for new particles, study Higgs boson decays, conduct precision measurements of Standard Model processes, leverage advanced machine learning and AI techniques, and extend the capabilities of the...
This federal Project Grant award of $500,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program supports operations, maintenance, and computing for the participation of U.S. scientists in the LHCb experiment at CERN. The award will fund the NSF-supported groups' share of common items necessary for the LHCb experiment, including maintenance and operations support for U.S.-delivered components, co-location of an LHCb Tier-2 computing facility, and R&D to...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award to Cornell University, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, provides $250,000 to conduct research on particle physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and develop educational materials to bring these cutting-edge research concepts and practices to undergraduate physics students. The project aims to better understand the fundamental nature of the universe by probing the basic symmetries and origins of...
This $170,000 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports a collaborative research effort involving the California State University (CSU) ATLAS group to study the properties of the Higgs boson and search for new physics at the Large Hadron Collider. The award will fund the CSU ATLAS group's data collection and analysis during LHC Run 3, as well as their work on designing, building, and integrating components...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under CFDA 47.049 - Mathematical and Physical Sciences, provides $180,000 in funding to Northern Illinois University to conduct research on particle physics and advance the understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. The key activities under this award include: Studying particle collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Geneva, Switzerland to enhance the understanding of the Higgs boson and search for new...
This $170,000 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant program (CFDA 47.049) to the University of Chicago. The grant aims to address the question of why evidence of "beyond the Standard Model" particles has not yet been observed at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), and to enable new discoveries by breaking traditional search paradigms and building next-generation pixel detectors for the ATLAS...
This $150,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will support a new research group at Northern Illinois University (NIU) to work on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The key activities to be delivered under this 3-year award include: Extending the current ATLAS search program for physics beyond the Standard Model, with a focus on novel vector-like quark searches and analyses...
