This five-year, $300,321 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program establishes a multi-institutional and international collaborative center called the Multi-Messenger Plasma Physics Center. The Center will study fundamental plasma processes to model sources of astrophysical signals detected through multi-messenger astronomy, which observes the sky through gravitational waves, neutrinos and high-energy particles in addition to light....
This $574,026 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program will establish a multi-institutional and international Collaborative Multi-Messenger Plasma Physics Center focused on studying fundamental plasma processes to model astrophysical signal sources. The Center includes four US nodes at Princeton University, Columbia University, University of Maryland, and Washington University in St. Louis that will collaborate internationally with Max...
This five-year, $292,027 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program establishes a multi-institutional and international collaborative center called the Multi-Messenger Plasma Physics Center (MPPC). The MPPC will study fundamental plasma processes to model sources of astrophysical signals observed through multi-messenger astronomy. Specifically, the Center will research relativistic pair plasmas near compact objects, develop multi-scale...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $298,216 Project Grant to the University of Maryland, College Park under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) from July 15, 2022 to July 31, 2023. The grant will support research to better understand the dynamics of collisionless pair plasmas in environments with extremely strong magnetic and gravitational fields, such as those found in magnetars, merging neutron star binaries, and collapsing neutron stars. The researchers will...
This $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Princeton University to investigate interactions between structured laser light and plasmas. The university will use high-power elliptically polarized and vortex laser beams to produce plasma harmonics with tunable polarization states for the first time. Two- and three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations will compare to experimental results. The...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics Project Grant award of $340,000 supports collaborative research between Columbia University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison to advance the understanding of microscale plasma processes in shock and turbulent environments. The project aims to develop physics-based models of kinetic, non-equilibrium processes in astrophysical plasmas, focusing on particle heating/acceleration in shocks and thermodynamics/transport driven by...
This Project Grant, awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program, supports collaborative research on microscale plasma processes in shock and turbulent environments. The $341,464 award to Columbia University, spanning August 2024 to July 2027, will focus on two key areas: 1) particle heating and acceleration in shocks, and 2) thermodynamics and transport driven by large-scale turbulence. The research aims to develop...
The National Science Foundation awarded Columbia University a $419,433 project grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). The grant supports research to advance data-driven modeling approaches for magnetized plasmas through three key efforts. First, several emerging data decomposition methods will be applied to numerical simulations of magnetized plasmas for the first time and assessed for these systems. Second, data-driven nonlinear models based on these...
