The research will be conducted between September 1, 2021 and August 31, 2024. The grant falls under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to advance scientific knowledge and...
This $295,792 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) aims to precisely measure the strength of a weak optical interaction in atomic cesium, which is influenced by the weak nuclear force. The goal is to improve the precision of the electroweak mixing angle measurement, testing the Standard Model of particle physics and potentially discriminating between Beyond Standard Model theories. The project...
This $129,851 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research at Florida State University to achieve two key objectives: Measure the mass of the electron with an uncertainty of 10 parts-per-trillion, which is a factor of three more precise than previous best measurements. This will enable more accurate theoretical predictions for the frequencies of rotation and vibration of molecular hydrogen ions,...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $300,000 to the University of Colorado Boulder for theoretical research on inertial sensing applications of superradiant lasers. The three-year award beginning June 1, 2022 supports quantitative analysis of a proposed new type of inertial sensor based on collective atomic effects in an optical ring resonator. The Principal Investigator will evaluate the...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $520,195 to Colorado State University (CSU) from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2027 to develop a novel optical atomic clock based on ytterbium ions for high-precision tests of fundamental symmetries.
