The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $418,310 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Temple University to theoretically model a novel molecular sensor system based on ultracold 223FrAg (francium-silver) molecules. The research aims to provide guidance for experimentalists to develop this sensor, which has the potential to detect symmetry-violating forces beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. The key products and services to be...
This $411,735 National Science Foundation project grant supports research to develop specialized germanium detectors and conduct experiments at the TRIUMF accelerator center in Canada. The goal is to search for a hypothesized boson particle in the decay of antimuons by focusing on low-energy signatures. The University of Chicago will receive the funding to build detectors with improved energy resolution of over three orders of magnitude compared to previous large scintillator calorimeters. These...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics, under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), provides $645,309 to Northwestern University to develop techniques for precision measurements on atoms and molecules trapped within inert cryogenic crystals from July 15, 2022 to June 30, 2025. The researchers will produce the first doped cryocrystals suitable for searches beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. They will grow large inert...
The National Science Foundation awarded a $643,068 Project Grant to the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research on cold radioactive molecules for precision measurements. The goal of the 3-year project is to synthesize, cool, and spectroscopically study radium-containing polyatomic molecules, including raoh, by combining laser-driven chemical synthesis, cryogenic buffer gas cooling, and new approaches to...
This $270,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research by the University of California, Berkeley to study the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the universe. The principal investigator will investigate the role of theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics in explaining this asymmetry by calculating the electric dipole moments of protons and neutrons. The project will use a new method...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $526,536 to the University of Chicago for research on novel quantum phenomena and quantum chemistry. The funded work focuses on two main areas: (1) investigating "quantum super-chemistry" involving chemical reactions at ultra-low temperatures, and (2) studying the transition between two-body pairing via the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research essential to achieving the high precision beam polarization measurements and parity quality beam needed for the P2 experiment at the Mainz MESA accelerator in Germany. The $169,673 award will fund two complementary goals: (1) ensuring parity quality beam for the P2 experiment to meet stringent systematic uncertainty goals arising from beam...
This $610,000 Project Grant award, made by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049), will support experimental and theoretical research to investigate the use of quantum sensors to address unsolved mysteries in fundamental physics. The research team at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) will collaborate with researchers at Laboratoire Aime Cotton in Orsay, France to generate and study the properties of nonclassical...
This Project Grant award, valued at $214,419 and effective from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2028, was issued by the National Science Foundation's Division of Physics under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049). The primary objective of this project is to develop an experimental simulation system using ultracold dipolar molecules confined in optical lattices to investigate new states of quantum matter and advance the understanding of physical processes behind...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences Federal Grant Program (CFDA 47.049) provides $400,000 to support new research by the PI and graduate students at the University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The award will fund the development of an innovative rare pion decay spectrometer at the Paul Scherrer Institute in Switzerland. The proposed measurements will provide important tests of the Standard Model of particle physics and...
