This National Science Foundation project grant award of $440,897 provides support for research on the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider located at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. The award will fund efforts to detect new physics beyond the Standard Model through searches for Higgs bosons decaying to heavy tau leptons. The awardee, University of Washington, will apply machine learning techniques to extract these difficult-to-detect Higgs decays, which are especially sensitive to contributions from new beyond Standard Model particles. The studies also aim to further improve the capabilities of the ATLAS detector to detect hadronic decays of the tau lepton. Outreach activities in local Seattle high schools are included as part of the broader impacts of this Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) award. The period of performance is August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025.
